Fast-forward to 2008 I installed Python 3.0b2 on a Windows Vista laptop (after having previously installed Python 2.5), and I am getting this same error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Programming\Python\monkeys.py", line 24, in <module> test_parse(sys.argv[1]) File "Programming\Python\monkeys.py", line 21, in test_parse xml.sax.parse(f, handler) File "C:\Python30\lib\xml\sax\__init__.py", line 30, in parse parser = make_parser() File "C:\Python30\lib\xml\sax\__init__.py", line 90, in make_parser raise SAXReaderNotAvailable("No parsers found", None) xml.sax._exceptions.SAXReaderNotAvailable: No parsers found I see a pyexpat.lib in the C:\Python30\libs folder. I also see a pyexpat.pyd in the C:\Python30\DLLs folder. It works in Python 2.5. I installed Python 3.0b2 as admin. Does anyone know what is wrong and how to fix it? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
