I can't figure out what xml processor python is using:

which: no xmlproc in (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/paul/bin)
which: no expat in (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/paul/bin)
which: no pirxx in (/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/paul/bin)

In fact, expat is part of my Mandrake distribution, so I could
install this. How exactly do you find out which processor is
being used, and how can you control this?

I re-tried my code with  your example above, and got this result:

<foo > 
<some text>
</foo>

The code I'm using is below. 

Thanks!
