PyXML and xml.dom

[Dan]

I'm writing a Python program that does some XML parsing, though nothing
heavy, and I want to avoid requiring the user to install additional
libraries like PyXML.

The documentation for my version of Python (2.3.5) mentions PyXML as an
additional library while discussing the DOM module
<http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.5/lib/module-xml.dom.html>. I don't seem
to have PyXML installed on my system, but:

  >>> import xml.dom.minidom
  >>> print xml.dom.minidom.xml.__doc__
  [blah, blah]
  The full PyXML package, available from http://pyxml.sf.net, 
  is installed. 
  [blah, blah]

Is PyXML now part of the Python distribution, or is it still an add-on?
