Python/XML HOWTO

A.M. Kuchling

Abstract:

XML is the eXtensible Markup Language, a subset of SGML intended to allow the creation and processing of application-specific markup languages. Python makes an excellent language for processing XML data. This document is a tutorial for the Python/XML package. It assumes you're already somewhat familiar with the structure and terminology of XML, though a brief introduction is supplied.
