  Okay it's a bit hard.
Since you are obviously not using the RPMs then I suggest you use the
alternate packaging as explained in http://xmlsoft.org/python.html

   Fetch the libxml2-python module from ftp://xmlsoft.org/python/,
make sure libxml2 and libxslt includes and libraries are available to
the compiler and use the "standard" python way of configuring and
installing that extension by using "setup.py build" and "setup.py install"
