I can see two reasons (sane or not): - You're familiar with those APIs and use them in e.g. C++. - You don't want to rely on third party libraries unless you must. In many cases, xml.dom.minidom etc will do fine... Having said this, I must admit that I much prefer Fredrik's ElementTree. Although Fredrik (did you know that?) had a part in Carmen's move to Python around five years ago, ElementTree isn't installed by default on our machines, and I think our CM people are happier if we use as few third party libraries as possible... -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
