ImportError: cannot import name pyexpat...What does this mean?

[Braun Brelin]

Hello all,

I'm running Zope 2.5.1 on a RedHat 7.3 Linux x86
machine.  I've downloaded and installed some Zope
products such as ParsedXML and XMLWidgets. 

I've installed them because I'm trying to 
install the Silvia document management product.

I've also downloaded and installed the PyXML Python
package using the 

"python setup.py build"
and
"python setup.py install" 

I also stopped and attempted to restart Zope.

I get the following errors:

I'm not a Zope or a Python expert.  Can someone
help me out here?  Is this just some sort of
shell environment issue?
