Request for new Python Feature: support for a native (or quasi-native) XML datatype, a la E4X. As recently discussed by Jon Udell and Phil Windley.
I wonder how close to the ideal user (developer) experience a solution could get without changes to the core language? Does python 2.3.x have enough innate extensibility to make something decent possible?
