 extended set of XML libraries for Python.
 
-Python 2.5 introduces the \module{xmlcore} package; this package
-provides the implementation of the \module{xml} package as distributed
-with the standard library.  The \module{xml} package, as in earlier
-versions, provides an interface that will provide the PyXML
-implementation of the interfaces when available, and the standard
-library implementation if not.  Applications that can use either the
-PyXML implementation or the standard library's implementation may
-continue to make imports from the \module{xml} package; applications
-that want to only import the standard library's implementation can now
-use the \module{xmlcore} package.
-
 The documentation for the \module{xml.dom} and \module{xml.sax}
 packages are the definition of the Python bindings for the DOM and SAX
 interfaces.

-dom -- The W3C Document Object Model.  This supports DOM Level 1 +

-parsers -- Python wrappers for XML parsers (currently only supports Expat).
-
-sax -- The Simple API for XML, developed by XML-Dev, led by David
-       Megginson and ported to Python by Lars Marius Garshol.  This
-       supports the SAX 2 API.
