You might also want to look at lxml over at http://codespeak.net/lxml/ which looks a lot like ElementTree, but has more complete xml support.

I must agree with the ElementTree comment. It is probably the most powerful, fastest, and the most Pythonic.

Unfortunately becomes frustrating to use when it comes to xml namespaces. You can find little corner case helpers, but to read, parse, and write xml with namespaces you are better to go with anything else (weep).

Aye, I’ve run into this issue a few times while writing one-time-use XML pull scripts… I’ve always ended up locking my door and sheepishly writing an incredibly Q&D sgmllib.SGMLParser while nobody’s looking.

Note though that Python import/export of JSON is so incredibly beautiful that it makes me tear up just thinking about it.

Have you tried elementtree?
