[lxml-dev] element of an xpath evaluation

Hi,

very recently I needed a program that evaluates a xpath and displays the "result" graphically in a tree of the xml file that was used. I found XPath Explorer a java application, however it does quite some more stuff than I need and there certain things that just don't work as I want.

I figured I could very easily provide something similar using lxml and PyQt4. However if I want to highlight the tree node that the xpath matches I have a "problem" when the xpath matches attributes or text nodes. So the question is: Is there a way using lxml to find out to which element a certain non-element result of an xpath evaluation belongs?
