\chapter{Structured Markup Processing Tools
|
|
\label{markup}}
|
|
|
|
Python supports a variety of modules to work with various forms of
|
|
structured data markup. This includes modules to work with the
|
|
Standard Generalized Markup Language (SGML) and the Hypertext Markup
|
|
Language (HTML), and several interfaces for working with the
|
|
Extensible Markup Language (XML).
|
|
|
|
It is important to note that modules in the \module{xml} package
|
|
require that there be at least one SAX-compliant XML parser available.
|
|
Starting with Python 2.3, the Expat parser is included with Python, so
|
|
the \refmodule{xml.parsers.expat} module will always be available.
|
|
You may still want to be aware of the \ulink{PyXML add-on
|
|
package}{http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/}; that package provides an
|
|
extended set of XML libraries for Python.
|
|
|
|
The documentation for the \module{xml.dom} and \module{xml.sax}
|
|
packages are the definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX
|
|
interfaces.
