I don't think this is the right approach. python-xml isn't maintained for years.
We did move it outside sys.path to get rid of it. At this point, I really would
suggest that mythvideo is patched to use the xml included in the python core
library (preferred), or include it's own copy of this unmaintained code.

Afaik, pyxml isn't packaged anymore by other distributions as well.
