What is the output of dir(__builtins__)?

I'm quite sure that lbxml2 is an XML library, not an imaging
library.

Assuming that you work on a UNIX type OS:

- Where was the python2.3 executable installed?

- Did you verify that python is really linked to
python2.3 and not to python2.2? AFAIK the sum()
builtin function was introduced with python2.3.

- Is libxml2 only in the python2.2 directory or
also in the python2.3 directory?

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,

Peter Maas
