<li>The ElementTree library is part of the Python standard library, in <code>xml.etree.ElementTree</code>.
<li>The primary entry point for the ElementTree library is the <code>parse()</code> function, which can take a filename or a file-like object [FIXME xref]. This function parses the entire document at once. If memory is tight, there are ways to <a href=http://effbot.org/zone/element-iterparse.htm>parse an <abbr>XML</abbr> document incrementally instead</a>.

<li>The <code>parse()</code> function returns an object which represents the entire document. This is <em>not</em> the root element. To get a reference to the root element, call the <code>getroot()</code> method.
<li>As expected, the root element is the <code>feed</code> element in the <code>http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom</code> namespace. The string representation of this object reinforces an important point: an <abbr>XML</abbr> element is a combination of its namespace and its tag name (also called the <i>local name</i>). Every element in this document is in the Atom namespace, so the root element is represented as <code>{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}feed</code>.
