11.2. DOM Support in Python

Python has two DOM implementations. The first is commonly referred to as pyDOM. The second is known as 4DOM. pyDOM originated with Stéfane Fermigier and has been extensively worked on by Andrew Kuchling. 4DOM is the work of Fourthought Inc. (http://www.fourthought.com). One major difference between the two is that 4DOM is CORBA based and so can do distributed DOM processing.

The pyDOM package is part of the core Python XML library. The 4DOM library is available at http://www.fourthought.com.
