pyXML errors on install

[Dennis Spring]

Hi;
I downloaded pyXML and read the 'readMe' doc .
 I followed the simple instructions to build and install pyXML, but many many error messages were output to the monitor.
Any ideas?

I am not tied to the notion of using pyXML, however I need to be able to read and process
 xml strings, not xml files.
And all references I can find for minidom and sax show examples of how to read a file,
not a string. My coding attempts confirm that those objects must have a file to read.
I know I could write the received string to a file, and then read it. However I believe that we would have time issues caused by that extra step.  

A fellow developer suggested using pyXML, but as I mentioned above, I got 'lotsa' errors when I followed the installation instructions.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
E. Dennis Spring

Then you missed the fact that PyXML is unmaintained and outdated.

Use the xml.etree.ElementTree module (in the stdlib since 2.5, available
for Py2.2+). It has a "fromstring()" function that does the job. It's also
a lot easier to use than anything in the xml.dom or xml.sax package.
