I’ve been writing some getting started documentation for Python and Libxml2 after spending a ridiculous amount of time trawling around the Net only to discover there isn’t really any out there.

I found a reasonable primer at http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/05/14/py-xml.html but like most sites, it doesn’t really cover the subject in any depth.

This is a shame, as I have found the library to be one of the most complete XML toolkits around, not to mention its speed. It comes complete with a set of Python bindings, so I would imagine it to be used more but if this is the case, it’s users are keeping their code secret!

So if you are looking to use Libxml2 and Python, you need look no further.

If you already use this combination, why not help out - I’ve put it on my Wiki so jump on in and add some content!
