pk, Do you know jQuery at all? Reason I ask is I just finished installing lxml and PyQuery yesterday to do data gathering. PyQuery makes it pretty easy to slice and dice HTML off a site and looks/acts like jQuery selectors. You can do the same with XML docs with PyQuery. lxml provides all the xml tools - SAX, XSLT, XPath.
One caution. lxml, at least in Linux, can be a bit hard to install. You need to fulfill all the dependencies.
