Time for a new release. The 0.9.2 release is 10-20% faster than 0.8 on my benchmarks, and uses 5-15% less memory. You can consider this to be the first 1.0 release candidate.
Here are some benchmark results, using a number of popular XML tool- kits to parse a 3405k source file on my development machine: library memory time ------------------------------------------------------------ minidom (python 2.1) 80000k 6.5s minidom (python 2.4) 53000k 1.4s ElementTree 1.3 14500k 1.1s cElementTree 0.8 5700k 0.058s cElementTree 0.9 4900k 0.047s ------------------------------------------------------------ readlines (read as utf-8) 8850k 0.093s readlines (read as ascii) 5050k 0.032s ------------------------------------------------------------ For more information on this library, including download instructions, additional benchmark figures, and more, see: http://effbot.org/zone/celementtree.htm enjoy /F _______________________________________________ XML-SIG maillist - XML-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig
