Thanks Thimo for the update. >> If you do not need a specific feature from lxml, then the defualt ElementTree shoul work nicely Actually, the python library I am trying to use is not my code, it has been published by Cisco and is quite complex. Here and there pops up the lxml import, and at current stage I can't decide whether I can port it to ElementTree (but I guess Cisco had a good reason for using lxml). I remember seeing XSLT and XPath is used in the code and I don't think standard xml supports it.
>> The IronPython is based on libxml. I do not know what you mean by that. Libxml2 is written in C and compiled into to a native image. As a result, I can't make use of it from IronPython. Sadly enough the situation is the same as with lxml. Sadly enough,I can't see any other option than creating a wrapper class around .Net XDocument and mimic lxml functionality through it. Quite some effort..
