<p class=MsoNormal>Guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m running python 2.5 and currently using ElementTree
to perform my XML parsing and creation. ElementTree really is a great package
for doing this, however, I’ve been tasked by our deployment guys to try
and move away from external libraries where possible as it makes their job
easier.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Simple question I suppose to start with, does Python have
any inbuilt XML processing modules? If the answer is no then I’ll stick
with eTree, if python does have one, then I’ll look at some migration
steps.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Many thanks All,<o:p></o:p></p>
