[Ironpython-users] no module named urllib

[László Frank]

Thanks Thimo for the update.

>> If you do not need a specific feature from lxml, then the defualt
ElementTree shoul work nicely
Actually, the python library I am trying to use is not my code, it has been
published by Cisco and is quite complex. Here and there pops up the lxml
import, and at current stage I can't decide whether I can port it to
ElementTree (but I guess Cisco had a good reason for using lxml). I
remember seeing XSLT and XPath is used in the code and I don't think
standard xml supports it.

>> The IronPython is based on libxml.
I do not know what you mean by that. Libxml2 is written in C and compiled
into to a native image. As a result, I can't make use of it from
IronPython. Sadly enough the situation is the same as with lxml.

Sadly enough,I can't see any other option than creating a wrapper class
around .Net XDocument and mimic lxml functionality through it. Quite some
effort..

Regards,
Laszlo
