Hi there, Back from my honeymoon I see that Victor has released vlibxml2. Cool! Thanks Victor! I hope that we can still converge it all into a single package -- vlibxml2 aims to do a fairly low-level straightforward mapping for parts of the libxml2 API, as I understand it, while lxml aims to raises the level of the API. The approaches don't need to exclude each other however and pooling them together could help both. Victor, I'm curious about the reasons why you didn't use the existing lxml infrastructure (svn, mailinglist, etc) to do what you've been doing? Were you under the impression that what you were aiming at is outside the scope of lxml? I think people would prefer there not be two pyrex based wrappers for libxml2. Is there anything we can change with lxml so that you'd be happy to merge the projects? I see that Victor changed his license from GPL to BSD (though the README.txt of the 0.1.177 release still says it's GPL-ed). That's great; it means no matter what happens with lxml/vlibxml2 convergence, lxml can hopefully at least 'borrow' the memory management code from vlibxml2. Thanks again Victor! Regards, Martijn
