I remember I was doing queries in the form
"/article/author/name"
- and it was so slow... (0.5 - 1 sec per query on Celeron 400)

In my application I need many such queries to fill
the template - that is why speed was unbearable.

Please, tell me if I did it wrong:

- parsed xml-file
- quered each variable in a template-file from the xml-file
- filled template with values found to produce web-page
  (some variables go to other pages, for example, content page)

I am trying to learn XML for 2 years already but am
still a newbie in practice.

Anyway, before claiming XML tools for Python slow I need to recheck
with new versions - if there are no objections to the
above scheme. (And what is preferrable tool for queries?
XPath?)

Is there any on-line tutorial (?) or just example code
to learn how to work efficiently with XML from Python?
(Python is my favorite language while Java is not)
I read code from xml.* but it doesn't give me clues
for real usage.


Sincerely yours, Roman Suzi
