I'll agree with Stefan, here. If lxml does not take care of your needs, then you must have very special needs. And, in the event that you *really* do need to use some Java XML class library, seriously consider using that library through Jython. Jython makes it very easy to use something like dom4j (http://www.dom4j.org/). I've even generated a Java jar file from an XML Schema using XMLBeans (http://xmlbeans.apache.org/), then used that jar file from Jython.
