Hi,
lxml http://codespeak.net/lxml/index.html#documentation is my pythonic
XML parser (with support for XSL) of choice. [of course ;)] I believe
it's really good.

I wamt to make an application that takes some text input and then does
some queries on a web page to get some results (which are returned in
xml).
The xml must then be parsed and that will likely result in another query
(ie you parse the results of query 1 for one of the terms of query 2.)
The queries are in the form:

I know this stuff is probably really old hat to many of you pros out
there, but I am not sure where to start or which libraries/extensions to
use. I am probably more proficient at python than anything else, but I
recently got a book out of the library on Ruby (but have only opened it
once). There will be some string processing too, parsing filenames to get
the initial query, and then some database writing to get the resulting
info into a mysql database. I guess I am looking for a quick pointer to a
tutorial on web/xml/sax(?) programming, or a pointer to the easiest tool.
Cheers.
