However I haven't got this library on my system and things are working well so I'm wondering what I am missing. A simple "git grep import" shows "from xml.dom.minidom import parse, parseString" in support/sedoctool.py [2] but the xml module has been part of Python since Python 2.0 (according to 2.6 doc [3]) so this is not PyXML. Moreover PyXML main page says this library is no longer maintained [4]. Is PyXML still a requirement of refpolicy and if not, is it possible to remove it from the INSTALL file? My motivation behind these questions is that an Arch Linux user packaged PyXML a few days ago [5], described it as "Python XML, Dependency for selinux-refpolicy" [6] and is asking me whether I want to maintain the package.
