Another option is Amara; also quite high-level and also allows for incremental parsing. I would say Amara is somewhat higher level than ElementTree since it allows you to access your XML nodes as Python objects (with some extra attributes and some minor warts), as well as giving you XPath expressions on the object tree. URL: http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4suite/amara/ Best version currently available is version 1.1.7 It does work together with py2exe on windows if the need ever arises for you but you have to fiddle a bit with it (ask for details on this list if you ever need to do that) Cheers, --Tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
