[Jython-users] XML in Jython: ElementTree?

[cyberco <cy...@me...>]

I would like to use the excellent ElementTree for some simple XML
work, but unfortunately it depends on the shared lib 'expat' so Jython
can't import it. Or can it? Anybody here that succeeded?

I've read that previous versions of elementtree had a way to avoid
expat by using SimpleXMLTreeBuilder, but that class has been removed
now (although the error message still says "No module named expat; use
SimpleXMLTreeBuilder instead").

If elementtree is a no go (I hope not) what other XML parsing package
(python) or lib (java) would you recommend? (I prefer the Python
packages since those are generally much simpler to use.)

Cheers,
Berco
