Hi,
I'm looking for a library that can search through an XML document tree,
locate an element by attribute (ideally this can be done through
XPath), and insert an element (as its child).
Simple? Yes? ...but the code I've seen so far which does this uses
'nested for loops' for trees which are relatively shallow compared to
mine. So I'm wondering if you could give me some suggestions as to
which XML library could do this without resorting to nested for loops,
and/or better yet, what's the trend in this type of operation?
Thanks in advance.

Try lxml: http://codespeak.net/lxml/
In [25]: from lxml import etree
In [26]: nbk = etree.parse('tu t-2.3.5-db.nbk')
In [27]: log = root.xpath('//ipython-log[@id="default-log"]')[0]
In [28]: etree.SubElemen t(log, 'cell')
Out[28]: <Element cell at d668>

Why do you care if they are nested for loops?
What is the problem you are experiencing that is caused
by for loops?
Does the software you've seen not work with your XML
trees? What error do you get when you try it?
Or are you just opposed to for loops on philosophical
grounds?

The nested loops which I speak of are highly dependent
on the structure of the document tree. The examples which
I've seen using DOM or ElementTree deal with shallow trees,
but in my case, I am dealing with deeper trees--which means
that the degree of nesting would also grow deeper if I were
to follow suit. Also, it makes for hard to manage code.
I'd say that lxml is exactly what I'm looking for, because
it supports XPath and Robert Kern's example is pretty reassuring.
Thanks Robert Kern!

Amara can easily do this using XPath (complete with predicates,
functions, etc.), without nested for loops: http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4Suite/amara/

I'm writing a small Python library with some generic classes and
interfaces, that can be used within other Python projects in our company.
Would it be a better solution to compile this library into a Python DLL
(and if so, how can it be done) or to distribute the "raw" sourcecode of
these classes etc.? What would be the best solution, so that other
programmers can easily integrate this library into their own programs?
