Counting Elements in an xml file

Does anyone have any experience with this sort of thing? If so, could
you suggest a good library and possibly some samples?

I am looking at writing a python script that will let me parse a
TestSuite xml file that contains n number of TestCases.

With XPath-capable libraries, it should be enough to execute an XPath
query on the document. For example:

* import libxml2dom
* d = libxml2dom.parse(filename)
* number_of_cases = d.xpath("count(//Testcase[@execute='true'])")

This applies the XPath count function to all Testcase elements in the
document having an execute attribute with a value of 'true', thus
returning the number of matching elements.
