[Pythonmac-SIG] How do I install packages?

[Richard Brooksby]

Hi.

I've just started using Mac Python.  I'm managing a commercial 
project using Python as its main language 
<http://www.ravenbrook.com/project/p4dti/>.  But I'm mainly 
interested in Mac Python to do XML processing on my laptop.

I installed Mac Python 2.0, and found that the XML DOM implementation 
chokes when fed the simple example from section 3.1.1 of the XHTML 
1.0 specification <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#strict>.

So I downloaded PyXML-0.6.1, hoping that it would be a newer version. 
But how do I install it?  Is it possible to run the "setup.py" script 
somehow?  Will it work?  Is there a recommended method for doing this?

It would be a good idea to mention this topic somewhere in the Mac 
Python docs, even if they just say that it isn't really possible.

Thanks.
