The usual drill in that case is to simply type "python setup.py install". If the module is registered in PyPi (which this one is), you can just type "easy_install libxml2dom" (after easy_install is setup) and you will not even need to download and extract. In this case, your module is a native wrapper. So you will need the libraries that it provides a wrapper for, installed. In this case (libxml2, libxml2dom). You will also need a C compiler. All this can be trivial on a unix based platform. However, if you are new and on Windows, this can be a hassle since you will have to manually setup your C compiler and the dependencies. Try to find a binary installer for native Python modules in MS Windows whenever you can. Here is a click and go installer built for Windows that I found from Google. http://users.skynet.be/sbi/libxml-python/binaries/libxml2-python-2.6.22.win32-py2.4.exe -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

paul, thanks for the replies to my issues!!! much appreciation. i've got the python app: http://www.boddie.org.uk/python/downloads/libxml2dom-0.3.3.tar.gz and i've downloaded it, an untarred it... i have the dir structure, but i don't know what needs to be done now!!! i have a setup.py. does it get run? the Readme file didn't tell me how to build the app i now, but everyone starts at something, sometime!! thanks -bruce -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
