Thanks for the prompt reply . I feel let me try using iterparse. Will it be slower compared to SAX parsing ... ultimately I will have a huge xml file to parse ? Another question , I will also need to validate my xml against xsd . I would like to do this validation through the parsing tool itself . Does there exist an Unix utility which validates or even a python library call would be fine ? Thanks in advance -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
