#

# light-weight XML support for Python 1.5.2 and later.

#

# this is a stripped-down version of Secret Labs' effDOM library (part

# of xmlToolkit).  compared to effDOM, this implementation has:

#

# - no support for observers

# - no html-specific extensions (e.g. entity preload)

# - no custom entities, doctypes, etc

# - no accelerator module

#

# history:

# 2001-10-20 fl   created (from various sources)

# 2001-11-01 fl   return root from parse method

# 2002-02-16 fl   sort attributes in lexical order

# 2002-04-06 fl   TreeBuilder refactoring, added PythonDoc markup

# 2002-05-01 fl   finished TreeBuilder refactoring

# 2002-07-14 fl   added basic namespace support to ElementTree.write

# 2002-07-25 fl   added QName attribute support

# 2002-10-20 fl   fixed encoding in write

# 2002-11-24 fl   changed default encoding to ascii; fixed attribute encoding

# 2002-11-27 fl   accept file objects or file names for parse/write

# 2002-12-04 fl   moved XMLTreeBuilder back to this module

# 2003-01-11 fl   fixed entity encoding glitch for us-ascii

# 2003-02-13 fl   added XML literal factory

# 2003-02-21 fl   added ProcessingInstruction/PI factory

# 2003-05-11 fl   added tostring/fromstring helpers

# 2003-05-26 fl   added ElementPath support

# 2003-07-05 fl   added makeelement factory method

# 2003-07-28 fl   added more well-known namespace prefixes

# 2003-08-15 fl   fixed typo in ElementTree.findtext (Thomas Dartsch)

# 2003-09-04 fl   fall back on emulator if ElementPath is not installed

# 2003-10-31 fl   markup updates

# 2003-11-15 fl   fixed nested namespace bug

# 2004-03-28 fl   added XMLID helper

# The <b>Element</b> type is a flexible container object, designed to

# store hierarchical data structures in memory. The type can be

# described as a cross between a list and a dictionary.

# <p>

# Each element has a number of properties associated with it:

# <ul>

# <li>a <i>tag</i>. This is a string identifying what kind of data

# this element represents (the element type, in other words).</li>

# <li>a number of <i>attributes</i>, stored in a Python dictionary.</li>

# <li>a <i>text</i> string.</li>

# <li>an optional <i>tail</i> string.</li>

# <li>a number of <i>child elements</i>, stored in a Python sequence</li>

# </ul>

#

# To create an element instance, use the {@link #Element} or {@link

# #SubElement} factory functions.

# <p>

# The {@link #ElementTree} class can be used to wrap an element

# structure, and convert it from and to XML.
