Really simple way to deal with XML in Python?

Question

Musing over a recently asked question, I started to wonder if there is a really simple way to deal with XML documents in Python. A pythonic way, if you will.

Answer 1

lxml has been mentioned. You might also check out lxml.objectify for some really simple manipulation.

>>> from lxml import objectify
>>> tree = objectify.fromstring(your_xml)
>>> tree.weather.attrib["module_id"]
'0'
>>> tree.weather.forecast_information.city.attrib["data"]
'Mountain View, CA'
>>> tree.weather.forecast_information.postal_code.attrib["data"]
'94043'
