| Hello, all --
| 
| I am running the XML package in conjunction with JPython. Since the JPython
| site states that a lot of the Python capability is found within JPython, I
| decided not to install Python.
| 
| However, the parser search capability within saxexts depends upon the import
| functionality found in imp. As imp is not implemented in JPython, I am
| forced to install Python just to get the ability to search for a parser.
| 
| Is my understanding correct? While memory is not an issue, this seems to be
| adding unnecessary complexity to the JPython environment build process.

http://www.infotek.no/~grove/saxexts.py should fix this.
