Hey Chris! Small world, eh? :-)

The link on www.python.org/topics/xml/download.html is out of date. Please
grab the latest distribution at:

    http://www.python.org/sigx/xml-sig/files/PyXML-0.5.5.1.tar.gz

The README has directions for building and installing. I'm trying it right
now as we speak...  (also on RH 6.1, Py 1.5.2)

It worked fine for me. (the "install" step should be done as root, but the
build can be anybody)

Cheers,
