Here's some documentation for my Python XML tool of choice. I'll
be happy to answer questions.
http://www.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/pylxml/
I avoided this approach, Fredrik Lundh's ElementTree model, for
some time because of its differences from DOM, but what won my
over was screaming speed. After I slurped a 500KB file into
memory in about 300msec, I was a convert.
The last section of the above document contains my adaptation of
Fredrik Lundh's builder.py module, which makes the construction
of XML so very easy. I use it for all my new dynamic Web and
other XML generation tasks now.
This document does not discuss the lxml package's toolset for the
equivalent of SAX (when the document doesn't fit in memory); for
that, refer to the main site:
http://codespeak.net/lxml/
