Indeed - elementtree and its blazing C implementation celementtree are 
included in the standard install.

However, I would also recommend checking out the latter option - lxml. 
It's very fast, has an elementtree compatible API and sports some 
tricks like XPath and XSLT. There's comprehensive documentation as well 
als tutorials, hints and tips here: http://codespeak.net/lxml/
