lxml is an open source third-party library that builds on the popular libxml2 parser. It provides a 100% compatible ElementTree API, then extends it with full XPath support and a few other niceties. There are installers available for Windows; Linux users should always try to use distribution-specific tools like yum or apt-get to install precompiled binaries from their repositories. Otherwise you’ll need to install lxml manually. +
