It's not immediately clear to me how the GPL affects unit tests. Is it kosher to distribute a BSD-script with associated doctests using a GPL doctest library? Also, it wasn't clear to me at first glance what license applies to https://svn.openplans.org/svn/TaggerClient/trunk/javascript/atom.js Anyway, thanks for working on this! Hi Ian,

Amara is possibly the most powerful and user-friendly XML library for Python and yet is quite unknown.

With a few factory functions for getters and setters it's not too terribly bad. I’ve just been using the DOM in Javascript, i.e., getElementsByTagNameNS.

Enumerating the attributes isn't that hard, though, and it includes extra information like default values or date parsing. lxml has good namespace support and XPath and XSLT built in. re: Google's library, no, I had missed it. But it does look like the style of API I specifically didn't use, so I don't feel so bad. re: Amara

And congrats on the WordPress migration. Is it running via wphp? ;^) You know about Google’s Atom library for Python, yes?

The built in API is pretty close to what your decorators are doing and you get things like XPath queries along with usable namespace support. Not to mention XSLT built in.
