Hello all I'm a final year university student in the UK and I've chosen python as my language of choice for implementing my desired solution but I'm having issues with getting xml working, the problem is that I've done a lot of reading discovered lots of different libraries and means of doing things now I'm unsure which one to use and how.
I'm most familiar with DOM and SAX now, or rather the overview of them, from what i understand DOM loads the whole document into memory and retains it until the user removes it, SAX by contrast only holds tiny bits at once in memory, now I'm of the impression DOM is great for doing a lot of XML editing where as SAX is great for reading a file in and extracting the information out of it as you go. So for my initial XML usage (for my program is going to deal with a lot of them) I have used SAX to write a basic preferences file (which is part of my programs design) that works, now, I am at a loss to understand how to read XML data back in, too many libraries to choose from and different examples show different things it's hard to fully understand how things work, if someone can poin me to tutorials and answer questions on them I'd appriciate it. Many thanks Neil Munro
