Thanks for this!    I have fixed the docstring.  I guess
we missed this as most of us have a better C-based parser
(pyRXP) installed, and rparsexml is only used as a fallback.

There are various optional C extensions and the renderPM
message is correctly saying that you don't have that
extension installed yet, so certain tests are not worth running.
This is normal for a preinstall test. If during the full install that
extension gets compiled, then
a 'postinstall' test would import it and generate some
bitmap charts without complaining/

Best Regards,
