[XML-SIG] Problem using 4DOM for xml parsing

[hansv@net4all.be]

Hi,

I can't seem to get 4DOM for xml parsing working for me, when I try the demo
"python dom_from_xml_file.py addr_book1.xml" (I ran it with a script passing
"read_xml_from_file('Ft/Dom/demo/addr_book1.xml')" from idle). I get
following errors.

Traceback (innermost last):
  File "E:\Python\Tools\idle\ScriptBinding.py", line 131, in

I get similar errors with Python on Mac. I'm a newbie to Python and probably
forgot to install something.
Could you please send me a list of things I should have installed to get
this working.

Any help is appreciated,
