AFAIK, things haven't changed.

Things you might be interested to know

1. There is a module in PyXML, called javadom, that layers python 
semantics on top of various Java DOM implementations.

2. I submitted a patch that extends that support to JAXP, although the 
patch has not yet been folded into the main jython repo. I think I 
really need to submit the patch to PyXML.

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=876821&group_id=12867&atid=312867

3. It should not be too complex to develop a binding for the excellent 
Jaxen "universal xpath engine", which could provide PyXML compatible 
xpath support under jython.

Not yet, although I could be wrong.
