@ -15,6 +15,17 @@ 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.
Python 2.5 introduces the \module{xmlcore} package; this package
provides the implementation of the \module{xml} package as distributed
with the standard library. The \module{xml} package, as in earlier
versions, provides an interface that will provide the PyXML
implementation of the interfaces when available, and the standard
library implementation if not. Applications that can use either the
PyXML implementation or the standard library's implementation may
continue to make imports from the \module{xml} package; applications
that want to only import the standard library's implementation can now
use the \module{xmlcore} package.
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.
