Package xmlcore.sax currently uses a mix of realtive
and absolute imports. This caused the following bugs:
http://python.org/sf/1513611
http://python.org/sf/1511497

This patch fixes it, by using relative imports.
I tried using absolute imports, but then some of
the tests in the attached test_xml_importing
module fail.

The tests are separate because I don't know how
to include setUp() and tearDown() methods into
non unittest based tests.

Attaching a new patch and updated tests, since I missed
that make_parser() uses __import__().

Assigning to Fred Drake, who introduced xmlcore.

These tests do not trigger any failures for me with the
current trunk, so I'm not sure what the patch is fixing.

I'm attaching a patch that includes tests cases for both of
the issues reportedly fixed by this patch.

The patch is extremely fragile and works only if you don't
mix objects from xml and xmlcore. As your test shows, it
breaks if you import 'make_parser' and 'SAXParseException'
from different packages.

As for the tests, the first four fail for me if I run them
as a script. They are not integrated into the test suite
since they are missing a test_main() function.

It seems that renaming xmlcore back to xml is the simplest
solution, so I'll just close this patch.
