I wonder why this is on the list: if I am not mistaken, it doesn't use 
anything else than xml.dom.minidom (in generate.py), which was already 
present in python 2.4 (the oldest Python currently living in Fedora/EPEL 
universe). And yes PyXML is hard-coded in Requires: (maybe this is just 
one more example why hard coded Requires are evil).

Putting the maintainer on Cc: to ask for the reasons why this package 
wants PyXML at all.

Best,

Matěj
