This is a Symbian port of pyexpat, for Python for S60 1.4.x (only).

The Symbian-specific build scripts build SIS files that contain both the pyexpat native extension, and the xml module (as extracted from the Python distribution). Note that just the pyexpat extension is not necessarily enough to make all of the functionality in the xml module work; other Python libraries or native extensions may be required for full functionality.

Builds have been made with a variety of different SDK versions, and there should be a suitable build for just about any S60 device.
