Ah... I didn't realise it used xmllib. (I have expat installed.)

I guess that's a major factor. By the way, I don't see the need for
a full XML parser... Isn't the XML-RPC close to SML [1] compliant?
For that one should be able to make a fast Pure-Python parser using
re etc. (I've made a small one [2], but I doubt it's very fast...)
