If all you need is a fast parser and serializer I figure you could wrap cElementTree using rpython or something like that. But lxml does a lot of other things. For some insight of why people want would lxml, there's an interesting discussion on google app engine's bug tracker about it. http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=18 This type of discussion is instructive as PyPy's barriers to porting C extensions, while not "just wait for google" as the google app engine case, are still somewhat similar. In the end google finally ended up supporting numpy, lxml and a few other modules.
