libxml2 yes
Andi pointed out that we might be able to replace this with something
else (possibly smaller even), which could also get rid of the patch
requirement.
I know zanshin uses libxml2 currently. Anything else?
I know we need an XML lib that understands XML namespaces. Are any
other
features required, like XPath? What would be good replacement
libraries?
If you're doing namespace-aware callback-based XML parsing, then
python's own expat module will do the trick.
If you're turning XML into a full DOM tree (or vice versa), then I
think you need some other library. Besides libxml2, there's also
pyxml <http://sourceforge.net/projects/pyxml/>. (I don't know if this
is either smaller or better than libxml2).
