+"""Core XML support for Python.
+
+This package contains four sub-packages:
+
+dom -- The W3C Document Object Model. This supports DOM Level 1 +
+ Namespaces.
+
+parsers -- Python wrappers for XML parsers (currently only supports Expat).
+
+sax -- The Simple API for XML, developed by XML-Dev, led by David
+ Megginson and ported to Python by Lars Marius Garshol. This
+ supports the SAX 2 API.
+
+etree -- The ElementTree XML library. This is a subset of the full
+ ElementTree XML release.
