Name        : python-lxml
Product     : Fedora 10
Version     : 2.1.3
Release     : 1.fc10
URL         : http://codespeak.net/lxml/
Summary     : ElementTree-like Python bindings for libxml2 and libxslt
Description :
lxml provides a Python binding to the libxslt and libxml2 libraries.
It follows the ElementTree API as much as possible in order to provide
a more Pythonic interface to libxml2 and libxslt than the default
bindings.  In particular, lxml deals with Python Unicode strings
rather than encoded UTF-8 and handles memory management automatically,
unlike the default bindings.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

2.1.3 (2008-11-17) Bugs fixed * Ref-count leaks when lxml enters a try-except
statement while an outside exception lives in sys.exc_*(). This was due to a
problem in Cython, not lxml itself. * Parser Unicode decoding errors could get
swallowed by other exceptions. * Name/import errors in some Python modules. *
Internal DTD subsets that did not specify a system or public ID were not
serialised and did not appear in the docinfo property of ElementTrees. * Fix a
pre-Py3k warning when parsing from a gzip file in Py2.6. * Test suite fixes for
libxml2 2.7. * Resolver.resolve_string() did not work for non-ASCII byte
strings. * Resolver.resolve_file() was broken. * Overriding the parser encoding
didn't work for many encodings.
