I've opened a bug to research if it's possible to replace libxml2 with pyxml

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).
