python + xml performance compared to Java and C++ ??

[Dave Kuhlman]

As suggested in this thread, Python processing of XML can be quite
fast when the underlying parser is written C or C++. 

So:

1. expat is available to Python in pyexpat.

2. The parsers and XSLT processor at http://xmlsoft.org have been
wrapped and made available to Python (see
http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman).

3. Python support for the Apache tools (Xerces and Xalan) is in
process.

4. PyXML and 4Suite provide drivers for pyexpat and sgmlop, both of
which are written in C.

For those who want _fast_ XML processing, that seems like pretty
good coverage to me.

If you use one of the above parsers, then the issue becomes how
much logic and processing time you add in Python.
