Pythonic XML library with XPath support for Jython?

[James]

A couple of years ago there wasn't one and the recommendation was to
simply use Java libs. Have things changed since?

I see ElementTree promises one in the future but are there any out now?

Thanks.

AFAIK, things haven't changed.

Things you might be interested to know

1. There is a module in PyXML, called javadom, that layers python
semantics on top of various Java DOM implementations .

2. I submitted a patch that extends that support to JAXP, although the
patch has not yet been folded into the main jython repo. I think I
really need to submit the patch to PyXML.

3. It should not be too complex to develop a binding for the excellent
Jaxen "universal xpath engine", which could provide PyXML compatible
xpath support under jython.

Not yet, although I could be wrong.
