[XML-SIG] SAX drivers comparison (PyXML 0.54).

Strangely, this does not match my results, which were run on the code
currently in the CVS tree on Linux with Python 1.5.1.

!!! xml.sax.drivers.drv_sgmlop Error No parsers found
!!! xml.sax.drivers.drv_pyexpat Error No parsers found
!!! xml.sax.drivers.drv_xmltok Error No parsers found
Parser: xml.sax.drivers.drv_xmlproc, time: 3.286604, 2877 bytes written.

!!! xml.sax.drivers.drv_xmldc Error No parsers found

I don't have pyexpat on that machine, mainly because the makefile
seems to make some assumptions about file structure that are not
correct, and I don't have the time to fix that now.

However, xmlproc and xmllib are in perfect agreement here, as I would
expect them to be. Could you try with the code from the CVS tree as
well and see what happens?

Line 76 is 

    return Parser()

in the CVS tree.  What is wrong with that?
