effbot.org proudly presents release 1.0.2 of the cElementTree library, a fast and very efficient implementation of the ElementTree API, for Python 2.1 and later. On typical documents, it's 15-20 times faster than the Python version of ElementTree, and uses 2-5 times less memory.
cElementTree 1.0.2 is 1.0.1 plus the missing "iselement" function, and a couple of minor tweaks and bug fixes.
The library is available as C source code, and as Windows installers for all recent Python versions. Get your copy here:

The cElementTree module uses some support functions from the standard ElementTree library, and will not work properly without it. If you haven't installed it already, you can get it from:
