Description-en: pythonic binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries
lxml is a new Python binding for libxml2 and libxslt, completely
independent from existing Python bindings. Its aim:
.
* Pythonic API.
* Documented.
* Use Python unicode strings in API.
* Safe (no segfaults).
* No manual memory management!
.
lxml aims to provide a Pythonic API by following as much as possible
the ElementTree API, trying to avoid inventing too many new APIs,
or the user's having to learn new things -- XML is complicated enough.
