AS I thought.

Let's focus on trying to get the import working correctly.

How about this?

#######################

import java

try:
    # Name mangled by jarjar?
    import org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser
    _xerces_parser = "org.python.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"
except ImportError:
    _xerces_parser = "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"
except java.lang.ClassDefNotFoundException:
    _xerces_parser = "org.apache.xerces.parsers.SAXParser"

#######################

We can tidy it up later if it works.
