[lxml-dev] Some praise for lxml in ibm developerworks

Just stumbled on this: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-hiperfparse/ Might've been mentioned before here (?), but I haven't been able to follow too closely these days... Holger -- Psssst! Schon vom neuen GMX MultiMessenger gehört? Der kann`s mit allen: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/multimessenger01

Thanks for pointing to that, I hadn't seen it yet. Apart from the few minor inaccuracies that you only spot when you've actually written the code behind what's described, I find it a very good article that's nicely written. It's also nice to see that lxml's documentation can't be that bad after all. I remember writing down many of the tweaks and hints that the article mentions, so she must actually have read it! ;) I also find the conclusion nicely heart-warming, starting with this sentence: "Many software products come with the pick-two caveat, meaning that you must choose only two: speed, flexibility, or readability. When used carefully, lxml can provide all three." Stefan
