Yet another XML API (for Python)

Uche Ogbuji: Anobind - A Python/XML data binding, serving as a very Pythonic XML API

Example: given this:

<monty>
 <python spam="eggs">What do you mean "bleh"</python>
 <python ministry="abuse">But I was looking for argument</python>
</monty>

You write things like this:

binding.monty.python.spam

There are other such tools for Python, and what makes Anobind unique is that it's driven by a very declarative rules-based system for binding XML to the Python data. One can register rules that are triggered by XPath-like expressions or plain Python code in order to register specialized binding behavior.

Ok, I'll have to check that out

See, a language that allows you to overload its syntax (unlike Java) can allow much more natural programming that has a much lower "cognitive load".
