[XML-SIG] ANN: ElementTree 1.2 alpha 1

[Fredrik Lundh]

The Element type is a simple but flexible container object, designed
to store hierarchical data structures, such as simplified XML infosets,
in memory.  The ElementTree package provides a Python implementation
of this type, plus code to serialize element trees to and from XML files.

The 1.2 alpha 1 release adds limited XPath support to the find/findtext
and findall methods.

You can get the ElementTree toolkit from:

    http://effbot.org/downloads

Brief documentation and some code samples (including an
XML-RPC unmarshaller in 16 lines) are available from:

    http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm

For information on the XPath subset supported by Element-
Tree 1.2, see:
