That looks like an error that python could not load the python libxml2
module (libxml2.py). I'm pretty sure OS X does not supply this module,
although it does include python2.3 and many other libxml2 and libxslt
tools. What exactly does "have libxml2 in my $PATH" mean? Do you use
the fink package manager?
