Stoa is a project I work on for my day job; a Zope-based Student Information System we use at the school for everthing from scheduling and attendance to posting online content for courses. Stoa uses XML for a few internal tasks, and right now it uses a module I wrote to do the handling. The module is ugly. And expensive. Really ugly, really expensive.
So I’ve been struggling with ideas on how to consume and emit XML is a “Python-ic”, Zope-friendly way. JAXML seems to be a good choice for emitting Python. It has an amazingly simple API, and doesn’t get caught up in the SAXiness that seems to plague other XML tools (I know, I know, SAX is supposed to make our lives better, but it just gets in my way). Now to find an equally simple way to consume XML.
