Summary: XML: Extend Remove Elements that will allow using of position range

Comment #3 on issue 1623 by pekka.klarck: XML: Extend Remove Elements that will allow using of position range
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1623

As I wrote earlier, ElementTree that XML library uses internally doesn't support the full xpath syntax. We obviously don't have resources for implementing a full xpath parser either, so the only option is using a tool that has better xpath support built-in. In this particular case the natural choice would be using lxml instead of ElementTree. It even has an ElementTree compatible API <http://lxml.de/tutorial.html> that ought to make this pretty easy.

Could you test does lxml work for you? You can try it by just installing it an testing does it support xpath that you would need in Python code. Alternatively you can try this XML library fork that already supports using lxml:
https://github.com/polusok/robotframework-lxmllibrary

If lxml works for you, we can change this issue to cover updating the default XML library to support lxml.

Do you work for NSN Marcin? If yes, please contact us via the internal mailing lists to discuss the priority of this and other issues you have submitted.
