        Subject: ANN: ElementTree 1.2 final (june 18, 2004)
        To: python-announce-list at python.org
        Newsgroups: comp.lang.python.announce

        The Element type is a simple but flexible container object,
        designed to store hierarchical data structures, such as
        simplified XML infosets, in memory.  The ElementTree package
        provides a Python implementation of this type, plus code to
        serialize element trees to and from XML files.

        The 1.2 release adds limited support for XPath and XInclude, and
        also fixes a number of serialization bugs, mostly related to
        extensive use of namespaces and unicode in tags and attribute
        names.  For a complete list of changes, see the CHANGES document
        in the source kit.

        You can get the ElementTree toolkit from:

        Documentation, articles, and some code samples (including an
        XML-RPC unmarshaller in 16 lines) are available from:
