[Rivet] rivet and GENSER

[Anton Karneyeu]

Hello friends,
I am going to integrate Rivet to GENSER tests system, and I found two 
problems:

* current installation of Rivet and AGILe at

     /afs/cern.ch/sw/lcg/external/MCGenerators/

   doesn't have necessary python scripts to run agile and rivet.
   This is due to configure option --disable-pyext , which was used 
during installation. That is why I want to reinstall this tools. Can you 
comment - will it be save for current user of rivet/agile?


* second problem related with old version of python 2.3/2.4 on 
slc4/slc5, which does not allow to direct use of several rivet python 
scripts (make-plots, aida2root, aida2flat) due to use of module 
xml.etree.ElementTree (which is available starting from python 2.5 only).
   For this problem I see two solutions:
     - to patch scripts to use xml.dom module.
     - to install each time ElementTree module to some local directory 
(small patching of scripts will be necessary in this case too).

May be you can propose another solutions?

Best regards,
Anton
