Okay, you lost me there.
Is it safe to assume that the version I pulled down is
broken enough that i probably can't use it?

I had the most hellacious time even locating lxml, so I assumed that
the
version I pulled down from infrae's CVS server had renamed etree to
elementtree.  Using CVS was the only way I could even GET lxml, so if
you know of a better way to locate lxml, or, specifically, etree,
please
let me know, because I'm pulling my hair out.
