Dear xml-sig specialist

I have tried to install PyXML on two different machines with the following
problem: "ImportError: cannot import name Extension"
We have Python 1.5.2 installed. I have enclosed a transcript of the
installation below.

Would upgrading to a newer version of Python solve the problem ?

Thanks you very much in advance.
