A beta release of the Python/XML distribution, version 0.6.1, is now available from PyXML's download page on SourceForge.

Writing on the Python XML-SIG list, Martin von Loewis describes the Python/XML package:

The Python/XML distribution contains the basic tools required for processing XML data using the Python programming language, assembled into one easy-to-install package. The distribution includes parsers and standard interfaces such as SAX and DOM, along with various other useful modules.

Changes over the 0.5 series of Python/XML include:

• Integration of 4DOM package
• Support for SAX2
• Works with Python 2 (and with Python 1.5.2 as long as no character set recoding is required)

Tarballs, RPMs and self-extracting Windows archives are available.

• Python XML home page
