The Python developpers are quite careful to keep the standard library
small -- as larger software increase the maintenance burden.

The Python runtime comes with some core XML support (sufficient to parse
and process XML files).  The xml-sig (XML Special Interest Group) has
implemented additional XML processing packages: that is "PyXML".
But, it never made it as a whole into the Python runtime library.
And not "PyXML" is without maintainer....
