Namespace problem? [Newbie]

[ewalstad]

Hi all,

I'm messing around with SOAP.py, which needs xml.sax.make_parser()
I'm also using the python interpreter on my shell account on 
starship.python.net
I start the python interpreter from /home/crew/ewalstad/site-packages 
where I have the following the modules I need for SOAP:

[ewalstad at starship site-packages]$ pwd
/home/crew/ewalstad/site-packages
[ewalstad at starship site-packages]$ ll
total 172
lrwxrwxrwx    1 ewalstad ewalstad       16 Jan 28 16:59 SOAP.py -> 
./SOAPpy/SOAP.py
-rw-rw-r--    1 ewalstad ewalstad   141762 Jan 28 16:59 SOAP.pyc
drwxrwxr-x    9 ewalstad ewalstad     4096 Jan 28 16:27 SOAPpy
lrwxrwxrwx    1 ewalstad ewalstad       19 Jan 28 16:59 XMLname.py -> 
./SOAPpy/XMLname.py
-rw-rw-r--    1 ewalstad ewalstad     3586 Jan 28 16:59 XMLname.pyc

Here's my interpreter session (ip changed to protect the innocent):
[ewalstad at starship site-packages]$ python
Python 2.2.1 (#1, Jun 15 2002, 17:05:40)

   File "SOAP.py", line 3607, in __call
     p, attrs = parseSOAPRPC(r, attrs = 1)
   File "SOAP.py", line 2827, in parseSOAPRPC
     t = _parseSOAP(xml_str, rules = rules)
   File "SOAP.py", line 2799, in _parseSOAP
     parser = xml.sax.make_parser()
   File "/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/PIL/__init__.py", line 
93, in make_parser
     # ;-)
xml.sax._exceptions.SAXReaderNotAvailable: No parsers found
 >>>


So my main questions are:
  - Why is the PIL.__init__.make_parser() getting called when the code 
is trying to execute "parser = xml.sax.make_parser()"
  - How can I fix it if I don't have root?

Thanks in advance!

Eric.
