[lxml-dev] Many thanks to...

The lxml developers great team.

I just released some days ago openxmllib, a Python library that  
extracts text and meta-data from OpenXML documents (MS Office 2007,  
Apple iWork, and some others) for full text indexing purpose. Perhaps  
more features in the future.

Got headaches reading and understanding OpenXML docs. Hopefully, lxml  
is so easy to work with and so fast...

The words of a 60 pages Word .docx document is now extracted in 0.2  
seconds instead of 8 seconds on my MacBook and I removed 60% of the  
code volume since I switched from the standard XML libs that come with  
Python 2.4.

lxml rocks and grooves
