I see.

OK, rather than us trying to suggest multiple possible solutions, only 
to find out that they are not supported on python-ce, because of lack of 
expat, etc, please can you list for us the xml parsers that *do* work on 
python-ce.

Particularly, I'm interested in whether the xml.sax modules work. Also, 
check to see if sgmllib works, since that can also be used as an 
efficient XML parser. There's got to be *some* event-based XML parser on 
python-ce, even if it is pure-python.

Start by looking at this HOWTO, and see if you can get any of the 
examples running.

http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/howto/section-SAX.html

Once you've got a working event parser, then we'll figure out the best 
way to build a python object model for your xml files.
