You might be interested in libxml2dom:

http://www.python.org/pypi/libxml2dom

It uses libxml2 under the covers, meaning that it has good performance
and supports XPath, but I can't always guarantee stability: libxml2
can get quite upset in some situations, but I've worked fairly hard to
avoid triggering them. The module API is similar to PyXML/minidom and
I've found some time to add minimal support for DOM events and SVG,
although there's a long way to go in both of these areas. This is a
project with just me as the developer, although there are a number of
helpful users who have kindly provided bug reports and suggestions for
improvements over the years.
