need help with PyXML

[Mark Hahn]

I am trying to parse HTML for the first time. I first installed
4Suite-1.0a3.win32-py2.3.exe and then realized I didn't need it. Then I
installed PyXML-0.8.3.win32-py2.3.exe. Now when I try to execute this as
the first line of my module ...

from xml.dom.ext.rea der import Sax2

.... I get this Exception ...

Sequence index out of range: list index out of range

Traceback (innermost last):

File "<string>", line 1, in ?

Re: need help with PyXML

Note: I just found a thread from over a year ago where someone else
reported the same bug. Can someone give me a hint on how to work around
this bug?
