That is for Python 2.0, as the name suggests.

Somehow, it appears that your source distribution is broken. In the
directory containing the file setup.py, do you have a directory xml?
Does that directory have a file __init__.py? Can you please report its
content?

Also, do you already have a build directory in the directory
containing setup.py? If so, can you please remove that, and rerun
"python setup.py build"? If the output of that command is different,
can you please report its output?
