+1 for 'xmlcore.etree'.
I don't use XML very much, and it was thoroughly confusing to find that
published XML related code didn't work on my machine, even though the stdlib
claimed to provide an 'xml' module (naturally, the published code needed the
full version of PyXML, but I didn't know that at the time).
