+Who uses lxml?
+--------------
+
+As an XML library, lxml is often used under the hood of in-house
+server applications, such as web servers or applications that
+facilitate some kind of document management.  Therefore, it is hard to
+get an idea of who uses it, and the following list of 'users and
+projects we know of' is definitely not a complete list of lxml's
+users.
+
+Also note that the compatibility to the ElementTree library does not
+require projects to set a hard dependency on lxml - as long as they do
+not need lxml's enhanced feature set.

+* Deliverance_, a content theming tool
+* gocept.lxml_, Zope3 interface bindings for lxml
+* Inteproxy_, a secure HTTP proxy
+* lwebstring_, an XML template engine
+* OpenXMLlib_, a library for handling OpenXML document meta data
+* Pycoon_, a WSGI web development framework based on XML pipelines
+* rfadict_, an RDFa parser wth a simple dictionary-like interface.

+And a couple of generally happy_ users_, and other `sites that link to

 all software, it depends on what you do with it.  Rest assured that
 lxml is fast enough for most applications, so lxml is probably
 somewhere between 'fast enough' and 'the best choice' for yours.  Read
