Don't get me wrong, I think EXI is useful, in the right places, but, could I ask, why would you want to implement it in Python? I'd be very surprised if any Python XML application is spending anything like enough time in the raw parsing activity (as opposed to the structure-building activity) to make the marginal gain you might get from EXI worth it. . . EXI is, IMO, for closely coupled systems in particular messaging environments where every bit counts, and I guess I'm having difficulty imagining Python in such a context. . . ht -- Henry S.
