Éric Araujo <merwok@netwok.org> added the comment: It makes sense that SAX and DOM would be mentioned in the tutorial: SAX is similar to how HTMLParser works and is used in many languages; DOM is the official W3C API and is used in many languages, despite its ugliness. ElementTree is not a very elegant API in my opinion, but the majority seems to disagree as it was included in Python 2.5, so I wouldn’t object to a one-line edition in the doc to suggest it. If you’d like to work on a doc patch, here are guidelines: http://docs.python.org/documenting http://docs.python.org/devguide ---------- nosy: +eric.araujo _______________________________________ Python tracker <report@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13275> _______________________________________
