-From the website:
+PyXML is a collection of libraries to process XML with Python.
+It effectively extends and updates Python's built-in XML libraries
+(the xml.* modules). It contains, among other things:
- The PyXML package is a collection of libraries to process XML with Python.
- It contains, among other things
+ xmlproc: a validating XML 1.0 parser written in Python
+ Expat: a nonvalidating XML 1.0 parser written in C, plus Python bindings
+ PySAX: SAX 1 and SAX2 libraries with drivers for most of the parsers
+ 4DOM: a compliant DOM Level 2 implementation written in Python
+ javadom: a Java-DOM-implementation-to-standard-Python-DOM adapter
+ pulldom: a DOM implementation that supports lazy instantiation of nodes
+ marshal: a module for serializing Python objects to XML formats including
+ WDDX and XML-RPC
+ sgmlop: a C helper module that can speed up xmllib (deprecated) & sgmllib
- - xmlproc: a validating XML parser
- - sgmlop: a C helper module that can speed-up xmllib.py and sgmllib.py by
- a factor of 5
- - PySAX: SAX 1 and SAX2 libraries with drivers for most of the parsers
- - 4DOM: A fully compliant DOM Level 2 implementation
- - javadom: An adapter from Java DOM implementations to the standard Python
- DOM binding
- - pulldom: a DOM implementation that supports lazy instantiation of nodes
- - marshal: a module with several options for serializing Python objects to
- XML, including WDDX and XML-RPC
- - unicode: a helper module for Python 1.5 users who need conversions
- between UTF-8 and ISO-8859-?
+It also provides the latest updates/fixes for minidom (the default
+xml.dom.implementation), and includes an XPath 1.0 processor for minidom
+(xml.xpath). Experimental XSLT 1.0 support for minidom can be added if the
+port is installed with WITH_XSLT defined (e.g. "make install WITH_XSLT=yes").
