[XML-sig] Error returned in installing PyXML-0.8.4

[Arc Riley]

You might want to check the Python version the package from IBM was
designed for.

PyXML has been largely obsolete since around Python 2.1 (circa 2001). The
last PyXML release was in 2004, and the project page very specifically
advertises it as unmaintained, out of date, do not use. Specifically, the
"as" keyword has been reserved since Python 2.5 (roughly 10 years ago),
which is only one of many things which could cause such an old package to
no longer function.

There is a slim chance the package from IBM is designed to run on Python
1.5.4 - this should have been clearly stated, and would be shocking to say
the least if IBM released it this year.

Otherwise, confusing why they would even mention PyXML - its dead code.
