"XML processing is the newest required skill for webmasters and application developers. The Python language and Sean McGrath's book make it fun to learn and easy to do."
― Charles F. Goldfarb

When it comes to XML processing, Python is in a league of its own.

If you're doing XML development without Python, you're wasting time! Python offers outstanding productivity ― especially in the areas that matter most to XML developers, such as XML parsing, DOM/SAX implementations, string processing, and Internet APIs.

And now there's Pyxie ― the new open source library that makes Python XML processing even easier and more powerful. In XML Processing with Python, top XML developer Sean McGrath delivers the hands-on explanations and examples you need to get results with Python and Pyxie fast ― even if you've never used them before!

• Install Python and the Pyxie XML package
• Learn the fundamentals of Python: control structures, classes, nested lists, dictionaries, and regular rexpresions
• Process XML with regular expression-driven, event-driven, and tree-driven techniques
• Understand Python's support for DOM and SAX APIs
• Explore the power of Python/XML through worked examples of GUI development, database integration, and an XML query-by-example implementation.

Elegant, easy, powerful and fun, Python helps you build world-class XML applications in less time than you ever imagined. If you know XML, one book has all the techniques, code, and tools you'll need to process it: XML Processing with Python.
