speedyxml

Usage is fairly straightforward:

import speedyxml
xml = speedyxml.parse('<xml><test this="now" /></xml>')

Will result in:

(
	u'xml', 
	None, 
	[
		(
			u'test', 
			{u'this': u'now'}, 
			None
		)
	]
)

So basically its:

(nodeName, attributes, children)

Plus some options (second argument to parse)

FLAG_EXPANDEMPTY

	If you want empty attributes and children to be {} and [] instead of None, use this

FLAG_RETURNCOMMENTS

	Return comments as:

	(TAG_COMMENT, None, u' comment ')

FLAG_RETURNPI

	Returns processing instructions as:

	(TAG_PI, {u'name': u'php'}, u'phpinfo();')

FLAG_IGNOREENTITIES
	
	does not resolve entities when set

And one exception:

XMLParseException
