********************************* XMLBooster 2.10.1 supports Python *********************************
XMLBooster (http://www.xmlbooster.com) version 2.10.1 can generate application-specific XML parsers to be used from within Python. The parsers and the resulting data structures can be accessed by Python code through a comprehensive interface, while the actual parser is generated in C, thereby providing the best of both worlds: top-knotch performance by using optimized code generation in C, and the flexibility and productivity of Python, accessing your document using ad hoc classes rather then generic DOM trees. The interface between C and Python is based by SWIG, but extended with specific additions so that the underlying C structure can be used as is by Python developers, low-level technicalities being taken into account automatically. For instance, linked lists as supported by the XMLBooster's C code generator are published as plain Python lists so that they can be used together with quantifiers or filters. The objects generated by SWIG to access XMLBooster-generated data structures are just facades: they hold no data. They just provide a convenient access to the underlying C structure. Since these facades are created on demand only, this means that one can use these generated parsers to deal with huge XML instances, much larger than what a generic DOM-based parser would allow. The performance and memory footprint gains get even more impressive when only a small part of the XML document is to be accessed from within the Python application. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
