[Python-Dev] Integrating Expat

[Martin v. Loewis]

> How would libxml fit into this picture ?

Uncertain. I could find out the following facts:

Python Wrappers: Dave Kuhlmann has written some, see
http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman/

Licensing: Available through either LGPL or W3C IPR (Daniel Veillard
from Redhat is the maintainer, he used to work for the W3C).

Portability: Apparently tested on Unix and Win32. Uses zlib and iconv
when available.

Size: 85kLOC C source code (compare to 11kLOC in Expat)

Performance: I could not find any results on this subject, comparing
libxml with other parsers.

Martin
