Hi Sayth, My experience in general is just like what Chris said. Except when dealing with DocBook XML which is probably not what you have. But I cannot say enough good things about lxml, which is my favorite 3rd-party package ever. Its support for xpath really makes it easy to traverse and select elements in a document tree. Plus the ability to drop subtrees, move elements around in a live tree, etc. Great library. Using lxml to parse and restructure the xml to a dictionary isn't too hard, but of course it depends on the xml you have to deal with. Sometimes weeping is just part of the job. good luck, --Tim -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
