I find that extremely ironic. I've spent most of the last two days

While both FreeBSD and darwin ports (where I do development) have all
the appropriate bits except oracle, the Linux distros don't have any
of them in their packaging systems.
Bollocks.

No, that taste in your mouth is crow.

Any more nonsense you wish to share?

The only nonsense here is that you apparently think 1.1.2 is later
than 1.2. 1.2 is the earliest version of lxml with XInclude support,
and I need that. The package you just installed doesn't have
it. Ubuntu 7.04 with python 2.5.1 and lxml 1.1.2 was one of the
distros I checked (and by far the best Linux system of the bunch), and
it isn't up to the job at hand.
