lxml

"Programming with Libxml2 is like the thrilling embrace of an exotic stranger. It seems to have the potential to fulfill your wildest Dreams, but there`s a nagging voice somewhere in your head warning you that you`re about to get screwed in the worst way." (a quote by Mark Pilgrim) Mark Pilgrim was describing in particular the experience a Python programmer has when dealing with libxml2. The Default Python bindings of libxml2 are fast, thrilling, powerful, and your code might FAIL in some horrible way that you really shouldn`t have to worry about when writing Python code. lxml combines the power of libxml2 with the ease of use of Python.
