The question is: what parts of Freevo/kaa need what kind of xml parser. All kaa modules should either use xml.dom.minidom or xml.sax. All parts of our code should work with and without pyxml installed. I have no idea what the difference is, maybe the xml in Python 2.5 already is the stuff from pyxml. Beautifulsoup is needed for web site parsing and should not be used as "normal" xml parser, elementtree is a nice tree parser. I propose for Freevo: use elementtree for parsing based on a tree, sax From python as sax parser. Stuff like lxml could be used optional as a fast elementtree replacement. Kaa should only use minidom or sax to avoid extra deps. IIRC this is the case. > Rewriting code, just because a library has not been updated, is not one > of my favourite tasks. No, and the python website still points to pyxml as xml lib. http://docs.python.org/lib/module-xml.dom.html Dischi -- Black holes are where God divided by zero.
