</ExceptionReport>

Troubleshooting
If you got some other message, like e.g.:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "trunk/index.py", line 53, in ?
    from Wps import wpsexceptions
  File "/home/jachym/prog/pywps/trunk/Wps/wpsexceptions.py", line 8, in ?
    from xml.dom.minidom import Document
ImportError: No module named xml.dom.minidom
Than something is wrong with your Python installation or with the program. This message means, that the xml.dom.minidom package is not installed in your system.
