"""Simple API for XML (SAX) implementation for Python.
This module provides an implementation of the SAX 2 interface;
information about the Java version of the interface can be found at
http://www.megginson.com/SAX/. The Python version of the interface is
documented at <...>.
This package contains the following modules:
saxutils -- Implementation of the convenience functions normally used
to work with SAX.
saxlib -- Implementation of the shared SAX 2 classes.
drv_pyexpat -- Driver that allows use of the Expat parser with the classes
defined in saxlib.
