I did a little bit of digging, and I couldn't find an alternative XML
parser for python. Do you know of one?
I am also writting a C++ version that uses Xerces - do you know if
xerces is GPL compatible? If that were the case then I could just
abandon the python version as I'm having serious performance issues
anyhow.
Thanks,
Alex
