What is lxml?
=============

lxml is the most feature-rich and easy-to-use library for processing XML and HTML in the Python language.
It's also very fast and memory friendly, just so you know.

For an introduction and further documentation, see `doc/main.txt`_.

For installation information, see `INSTALL.txt`_.


Support the project
-------------------

Most people who use lxml for their daily work do so because they like using it.
If you like it, send us a flattr.

However, if you are using lxml for your work and feel like you should
give a bit of your own benefit back to support the project, consider
sending us money through PayPal.  Please read the Legal Notice below.

  |Donate|_

Note that Flattr keeps 10% of the money for itself, so do not send
any larger amounts through Flattr.  Use PayPal for donations instead,
or contact `Stefan Behnel`_ for other ways to support the lxml project,
as well as commercial support, customisations and trainings.
