Synopsis

Python is a language for manipulating XML, and this volume offers a solid foundation for using these two languages together. Complete with practical examples that highlight common application tasks, the book starts with the basics then quickly progresses to more complex topics such as transforming XML with XSLT and querying XML with XPath. It also explores more advanced subjects, such as SOAP and distributed web services.

Media Reviews
I'll use the word 'practical' again, because that sums up the tone of this book - it's about getting things done, and shows the processes in easy to understand chunks. There aren't great swathes of waffle, but there are plenty of examples. Appendices cover installation of necessary tools and the APIs for SAX and DOM, as well as a guide to MSXML and other Python tools available. Even the index is more comprehensive that the usual effort. Over 340 pages of real, practical, useful info here, well worth reading. - Nick Veitch, LinuxFormat, May 2002 ...does a great job of sticking to real-world, practical applications of these cutting edge technologies. - Martin Howse, LinuxUser & Developer, issue 31
