At least lxml's API is also arguably the most supported as it mostly compatible to ElementTree (which made it into Python 2.5). http://codespeak.net/lxml Beware though, I'm somewhat biased as I'm one of the authors.

Parsing XML/XSLT
Hello, I'm looking to use XML and XSLT for templates in a system I'm writing, however I'm not really sure which parser is the best. Basically, which library has the most features, and which is the most supported? A guide I saw mentioned importing xml.xslt, however it appears the xml module/package contains pretty much nothing - xml.xslt outputs an exception, No module named xslt. Help? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Basically, which library has the most features, and which is the most supported? I use (my own) libxml2dom [1] and XSLTools [2] to respectively parse XML documents and perform XSL transformations on those documents, both solutions employing the widely deployed libxml2 [3] and libxslt [4] libraries. Alternatively, lxml [5] provides parsing and transformation APIs based on the same underlying technologies. A guide I saw mentioned importing xml.xslt, however it appears the xml module/package contains pretty much nothing - xml.xslt outputs an exception, No module named xslt. You could inquire on the XML-SIG mailing list [6] about the status of XSLT in PyXML or in 4Suite, one or both of which being the origin of the xml.xslt package.
