So it does! I only noticed that Pyxie (the DOS version on Sean McGrath's 
book, not the rpm) broke because:

a. It couldn't find pyexpat (though evidently xml/parsers/expat.py 
manages) and

b. When I changed pyxie to point to xml.parsers.expat, it found that the 
attribute list was a dictionary, not a list.

The version on the Pyxie site worked, though, and it's rather too 
important for me at the moment for me to re-install the broken version to 
investigate further!
