Powerful and Pythonic XML processing library combining libxml2/libxslt with the ElementTree API.
lxml is a Pythonic, mature binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries. It provides safe and convenient access to these libraries using the ElementTree API.
It extends the ElementTree API significantly to offer support for XPath, RelaxNG, XML Schema, XSLT, C14N and much more.

In case you want to use the current in-development version of lxml, you can get it from the github repository at https://github.com/lxml/lxml . Note that this requires Cython to build the sources, see the build instructions on the project home page.
After an official release of a new stable series, bug fixes may become available at
https://github.com/lxml/lxml/tree/lxml-6.0 .
Running pip install https://github.com/lxml/lxml/archive/refs/heads/lxml-6.0.tar.gz
will install the unreleased branch state as soon as a maintenance branch has been established.
Note that this requires Cython to be installed at an appropriate version for the build.
