Provides all the information, explanations, working examples, and software packages (on the accompanying CD-ROM) needed to start writing XML-processing applications in Python quickly. CD-ROM also includes several additional resources. Softcover. XML (Document markup language) Python is the fastest, most productive tool for processing XML. This is the first book to cover XML development with Python, in-depth. XML expert Sean McGrath introduces each of Python's key features, with practical examples demonstrating exactly how to leverage Python in XML development. Install Python and its XML package; then discover the new Pyxie open source project, which provides powerful XML processing libraries for Python. Master XML processing tasks such as stripping tags and reporting on XML document structure. Learn basic Python control structures, functions, data structures, and object techniques; then process XML using regular expressions; event-driven and tree-driven techniques. XML Processing With Python also includes hands-on, practical chapters on SAX and DOM support in Python. The CD-ROM contains complete Python distributions for Windows and Linux, plus extensive source code A thorough introduction to XML application development with the world's most productive programming language--Python. This introduction takes the reader step-by-step through all of Python's main features and how they relate to XML processing, giving readers everything needed to build industry strength XML applications.
