I'm a bit confused by what the problem is. I though this was all
handled like it should be now.
>>> import xml.etree
>>> xml.etree
<module 'xml.etree' from '.../lib/python2.5/xmlcore/etree/
__init__.pyc'>
>>> import xml.sax
>>> xml.sax
<module 'xml.sax' from '.../lib/python2.5/site-packages/_xmlplus/
sax/__init__.pyc'>
It picks up modules from both places
