Google sitemaps and python

I am going to start fiddling with Google Sitemap, still in beta. This is a tool that helps google index a site. With this you can publis some meta-data about your site, like refresh rates, relevance, ...

For starters, following Google's instructions, I started by downloading python, necessary to run the sitemap generator script.
I installed the python 2.3 rpm (I still hava an oldie Suse 9.0 installation), but that was not enough.
Still needed to install the python-xml package...

It worked. Keep posted for updates on that.
