I don't know what you call the "predecessor" of lxml here. In case you meant PyXML, there is no link between the two at all ....
I am referring to PyXML, which was the package formerly recommended by the SIG which is currently recommending lxml (and which still recommends PyXML on its home page). I am very appreciative of the work which has gone into lxml, but I would prefer that it (or at least its support for validation, on which our projects depend) be part of the standard Python library, which would be as good a guarantee as we could reasonably expect that it won't share the same fate as PyXML, for which maintenance silently evaporated. If you truly have no idea what I'm talking about, I won't waste any more of your time or mine.
