On July 26 I reported that the new xml package in the standard library collides with and overrides the xml package from the xml-sig that may be installed in site-packages. This is still the case. The new package does not have the same functionality as the one in site-packages, and hence my application (and others relying on similar functionality) gets an import error. I understood that it was planned that the new library xml package would check for the site-package version, and transparently hand over to it if it existed. It's not really an option to remove/rename the xml package in the std lib, or to break existing xml-based code... Of course, this might be fixed by 2.0b1, or is it a feature that will be frozen out <wry smile>? Fred's response was: " I expect we'll be making the package in site-packages an extension provider for the xml package in the standard library. I'm planning to discuss this issue at today's PythonLabs meeting." -- Mark
