I assume you are talking about PyRXP returning a tuple, which is 
immutable.  If so, all you need to do is "ReturnList=1" to have it 
return a mutable list instead.

I don't know of any XPath module that works with PyRXP though.

There are at least two other choices:

ElementTree: http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm

cDomlette: http://4suite.org/index.xhtml

I believe the 4Suite XPath module works with cDomlette.
