The ElementTree toolkit contains a number of light-weight components for working with XML, including the Element and ElementTree types, XML parsers and writers, etc. The toolkit is faster and more memory-efficient than comparable toolkits, and can be used with Python 1.5.2 and later.
This is an add-on to the standard ElementTree package, which adds a very fast and memory-efficient alternative implementation of the ElementTree API. Note that to use this, you need to install both this kit and the standard ElementTree kit.
