I want to parse a very large (2.4 gig) XML file (bioinformatics ofcourse :))
But I have no clue how to do that. Most things I see read the entire xml
file at once. That isn't going to work here ofcourse.
So I would like to parse a XML file one record at a time and then be able
to store the information in another object.
How should I do that?
Thanks in advance,

A total newbie to python by the way.
Read about SAX parsers.
This may be of help:

Out of curiousity, why is the data stored in a XML file?
XML is not known for its efficiency....
