Okay, I'll put my fingers where my mouth is: I'm creating a Python interface to xmltok. Expect (untested) code later today.

I've put the module (plus the XMLTok sources it needs, plus a very tiny test program) in ftp://ftp.cwi.nl/pub/jack/pyxmltop.tar.gz . So far the only test I've done is to parse the Hamlet document, which it does in 2 seconds on my O2. I think I've exported all the XMLTok functionality we need, let me know if this isn't so. If someone else is willing to put a SAX wrapper around this: be my guest. I don't really have more time to spend on this at the moment (but I thought that creating this module will at least allow me to be vocal in further discussions:-). -- Jack Jansen | ++++ stop the execution of Mumia Abu-Jamal ++++ Jack.Jansen@cwi.nl | ++++ if you agree copy these lines to your sig ++++ http://www.cwi.nl/~jack | see http://www.xs4all.nl/~tank/spg-l/sigaction.htm _______________ DOC-SIG - SIG for the Python Documentation Project send messages to: doc-sig@python.org administrivia to: doc-sig-request@python.org _______________
