Hi libxml2 and Python experts !

I get errors / warnings when trying to install windows libxml2 python
bindings for Python 2.6.6
on my WindowsXP.

Downloaded 
libxml2-python-2.7.3.win32-py2.6.exe<http://users.skynet.be/sbi/libxml-python/binaries/libxml2-python-2.7.3.win32-py2.6.exe>from
http://users.skynet.be/sbi/libxml-python/
Trying to install it using easy_install ( setuptools-0.6c11 ) gives me the
following console output :

=== START OF CONSOLE OUTPUT ==

Trying to open the libxml2 installer executable with WinZip shows that the
mentioned files
  DATA/lib/site-packages/libxmlmods/iconv.dll
  DATA/lib/site-packages/libxmlmods/libexslt.dll
  DATA/lib/site-packages/libxmlmods/libxml2.dll
  DATA/lib/site-packages/libxmlmods/libxslt.dll
are available inside the installer executable !?

After installation I can only find the following libxml2 related file in my
Python directory :
Lib\site-packages\libxml2_python-2.7.7-py2.6-win32.egg

I renamed the .egg file to .zip to check it's content.
The mentioned DLLs are not included in the egg file !?

I wonder if this installation works without the required DLLs.

Any suggestion or hint is welcome !

kind regards
Manuel Koch
