xpath support in python 2.4

[And80]

Hi,
I would like to use xpath modules in python2.4.... In my local machine
I am running python2.3.5 and on the server I run python2.4. I have seen
that while on my computer i am able to import xml.xpath, on the server
the module seems to not exist. Is it still part of the standard
library? if not, what should I use?

Thank you in advance,
Andrea Fiore

sounds like you've installed

http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/

on one of your machines, but not on the other.

(afaik, xml.xpath has never been part of the standard library.)

a couple disconnected observations:

- for install questions, you need to specify O/S, how you installed
python, maybe something about RAM/CPU if performance constraints

- check the blogalog about Xpath earlier this year:

No, it's not. Not sure if it ever was.

Install PyXML

http://pyxml.sourceforge.net

HTH,

It never was.

or ActiveState Python on one and python.org Python on the other???

Just a guess. No STFWing was done before posting this message. ;-)
