Unfortunately that's not true. There's quite some modules from python-xml which
aren't in python (and there are some more in python2.5 than in python2.4). You
need to check that the used modules are in python too. Otherwise the application
needs source changes.

xpath isn't in python, for example. Look at /usr/lib/python2.X/xml/ and
/usr/share/pycentral/python-xml/site-packages/_xmlplus/ to compare them.
