But here the definition of "solid enough" includes such credits as being written by the primary author of CPython's implementations of Unicode and regular expressions, and who can be reasonably be believed to be around to support and maintain the package for some time. I don't know who the "some authors" you mention are, but those are pretty tough credentials to match, as are the apparent popularity, Pythonicness, and performance of ElementTree. I find it rather hard to believe that there's another XML library that could have gotten through the approval process anywhere near as easily. _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
