If the data is composed by a large number of records, like a database dump of some sort, then probably you could have a look to a stax processor for python like pulldom. In this way you could process each single record one at the time, without loading the entiere document. Regards, Antonio -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
