No what exactly makes C grok a 10Gb file where python will fail to do so? What the OP needs is a different approach to XML-documents that won't parse the whole file into one giant tree - but I'm pretty sure that (c)ElementTree will do the job as well as expat. And I don't recall the OP musing about performances woes, btw. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
