It would seem that you may be right about the Pyd’s (it at least requires a C
compiler, making that likely – and almost guaranteeing it won’t work w/
IronPython).<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

don’t support PYD’s currently (and aren’t likely to soon) so most likely this

I’d suggest using .NET’s XMLPath (and if you need to work on both you could
make a thin wrapper over either PyXml for CPython and .NET’s XPath
support). For example:<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
