Python & XML

[Matt Gerrans]

I downloaded the examples for that book from the O'Reilly site and tried that
one out with Python 2.2 and PyXML 0.7 and it seemed to work okay, yielding the
following results:

D:\pythonxml_examples\c4>python po.py <po.xml
Sku: 229-987488
Sku: 228-988347
Sku: 221-388833

It may be a configuration issue or that you are using an older version of
either for which there is now a bug fix.   Getting Python and XML set up
properly can be a little messy, especially if you have more than one version
of Python installed.
