Hi, I have heard about and played with pyRXP (from reportlab.org) that parses XML to pythonic objects. If you want a validating parser pyRXPu (Unicode pyRXP, part of same distro) is recommended on xml forums.
There is another parser by 4suite.org. Never tried it. Also check out 1. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python?kwd=XML for Python XML recipes 2. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/149368 - for an XML to Object recipe. 3. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/298721 - an update to the above recipe by some other pythonista. Item #2 above did not handle multiple occurances of elements well (or may be it was me!), for example for multiple accounts in a download XML config file I created, only got one account instance instead of 3. Hope this helps. Thanks, --Kartic -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
