Ok, now it makes sense.

xml.dom.minidom is available in both PyXML and Python 2.2, but the
PyXML version has advanced to include output encoding control (the
'utf-8' parameter used here).

This can be fixed by requiring PyXML 0.8.1 or 0.8.2, or Python 2.3.
Another approach would be to avoid passing the encoding control; I'm
not sure offhand, but I think UTF-8 was the default before the control
parameter was added.  I can spend a few minutes looking into it later
today if needed, but probably no more than that.
