You could use it with Python 1.6, but you will need to recompile all C
modules - unless somebody else has already produced a binary
distribution. Pretty much the same applies to PyXML, BTW: I made
binaries only for 1.5.2 and 2.0b2.

Personally, I'd recommend against using Python 1.6. If you want a
stable system, you should use 1.5.2. If you want some of the more
recent features, you should use 2.0 beta versions. That even includes
xml libraries - although the interfaces probably slightly deviate from
your book's code (Python 2.0 has SAX2 and minidom).
