You know what would be really nice? A "semi-incremental" parser that can e.g. yield (whether through an event or through the iterator protocol) a fully formed element (preferably one that can be queried with xpath) at a time for each record of a document representing a list of objects. Does anything like that exist? -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
