Yep, I and others have thought the same thing.
I imagine an existing
library would be available to make this reasonably easy to implement?
With ElementTree going into Python 2.5, I suspect testbrowser will grow
XPath support.
Except that ElementTree doesn't really have XPath support nor an HTML
parser, AFAIK. lxml has both. (It doesn't surprise that Schooltool used
libxml, therefore.) I understand that you're reluctant to add any
dependencies to zope.testbrowser, perhaps Zope 3 will ship with lxml at
some point...
Or perhaps it could be an optional dependency in the mean-time? Since
we're only talking tests, here, it's not terrible of developers have a
bit more choice over dependencies. For example, zope.testbrowser itself
requires Five 1.4 to run on Zope 2. Plone runs testbrowser tests if
they're available, and prints a warning if they are not.
