It's hard to say which one is faster without having side-by-side running code, but cElementTree site claims that it smokes libxml2, plus it's a clear win in terms of the APIs: as opposed to libxml2, the author of cElementTree has some idea about what makes good Python bindings, so you don't feel like flossing with barbed wire when writing code in it. It shouldn't be too hard for me to rewrite it, since I can largely steal from what I just wrote for repoview. Regards, -- Konstantin Ryabitsev <icon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Duke University Physics
