[XML-SIG] Using sax & dom xml parsers

[Vincent.Ryan@astrazeneca.com]

Hello,
I'm new to using xml with Python. I've installed Python-2.1.1 on a solaris
2.7 machine and have been using it with success.
However, when I tried to incorporate xml processing (simple program to parse
a string and generate an xml doc) I get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./cxml.py", line 21, in ?
    dom = xml.dom.minidom.parseString(document)
  File "/usr/contrib/lib/python2.1/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 915, in
parseString
    return _doparse(pulldom.parseString, args, kwargs)
  File "/usr/contrib/lib/python2.1/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 901, in
_doparse
    events = apply(func, args, kwargs)
  File "/usr/contrib/lib/python2.1/xml/dom/pulldom.py", line 301, in
parseString
    parser = xml.sax.make_parser()
  File "/usr/contrib/lib/python2.1/xml/sax/__init__.py", line 88, in
make_parser
    raise SAXReaderNotAvailable("No parsers found", None)
xml.sax._exceptions.SAXReaderNotAvailable: No parsers found

Do I need to install the PyXML package or possible set an environment
variable?

Thanks for any help.

-Vince
