Simple XML-to-Python conversion

Thanks Lutz!

I should have looked into Amara's binderytools module earlier.  This is
just the type of tool I was looking for.  When I tried testing its
compatibility with py2exe, I was _almost_ able to compile...  Does
anyone know where the following libraries exist?  I thought Amara would
have these included, but it looks like I need to install another
module.

The following modules appear to be missing
['FtMiniDom.GetAllNs', 'FtMiniDom.SeekNss', 'FtMiniDom.implementation',
'FtMiniD
om.nonvalParse', 'FtMiniDom.valParse', 'XmlStripc',
'xml.parsers.xmlproc']
E:\src\python\xml>

These Ft* and Xml* modules should have been installed with Amara,
correct?  After running the setup.py script, it generates my .EXE file
and outputs the correct text, but with the addition of a prepended
Traceback dump:
