Eli Bendersky <eli...@gmail.com> added the comment: I don't think this is an enhancement to ET, because ET was not designed to be a streaming parser, which is what is required here. ET was designed to read a whole valid XML document. There is 'iterparse', as Antoine mentioned, but it is designed to "track changes to the tree while it is being built" - mostly to save memory.
You have streaming XML parsers in Python - for example xml.sax. You can also relatively easily use xml.sax to find the end of your document and then parse the buffer with ET. I don't see how a comparison with Parsec (a parser generator/DSL library) makes sense. There are tons of such libraries for Python - just pick one. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue14852> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
