Description: lxml is a Pythonic, mature binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries.  It
        provides safe and convenient access to these libraries using the ElementTree
        API.
        
        It extends the ElementTree API significantly to offer support for XPath,
        RelaxNG, XML Schema, XSLT, C14N and much more.
        
        To contact the project, go to the `project home page
        <http://lxml.de/>`_ or see our bug tracker at
        https://launchpad.net/lxml
        
        In case you want to use the current in-development version of lxml,
        you can get it from the github repository at
        https://github.com/lxml/lxml .  Note that this requires Cython to
        build the sources, see the build instructions on the project home
        page.  To the same end, running ``easy_install lxml==dev`` will
        install lxml from
        https://github.com/lxml/lxml/tarball/master#egg=lxml-dev if you have
        an appropriate version of Cython installed.
        
        
        After an official release of a new stable series, bug fixes may become
        available at
        https://github.com/lxml/lxml/tree/lxml-2.3 .
        Running ``easy_install lxml==2.3bugfix`` will install
        the unreleased branch state from
        https://github.com/lxml/lxml/tarball/lxml-2.3#egg=lxml-2.3bugfix
        as soon as a maintenance branch has been established.  Note that this
        requires Cython to be installed at an appropriate version for the build.
        2.3.1 (2011-09-25)
        ==================
        
        Features added
        --------------
        
        * New option ``kill_tags`` in ``lxml.html.clean`` to remove specific
          tags and their content (i.e. their whole subtree).
        
        * ``pi.get()`` and ``pi.attrib`` on processing instructions to parse
          pseudo-attributes from the text content of processing instructions.
        
        * ``lxml.get_include()`` returns a list of include paths that can be
          used to compile external C code against lxml.etree.  This is
          specifically required for statically linked lxml builds when code
          needs to compile against the exact same header file versions as lxml
          itself.
        
        * ``Resolver.resolve_file()`` takes an additional option
          ``close_file`` that configures if the file(-like) object will be
          closed after reading or not.  By default, the file will be closed,
          as the user is not expected to keep a reference to it.
        
        Bugs fixed
        ----------
        
        * HTML cleaning didn't remove 'data:' links.
        
        * The html5lib parser integration now uses the 'official'
          implementation in html5lib itself, which makes it work with newer
          releases of the library.
        
        * In ``lxml.sax``, ``endElementNS()`` could incorrectly reject a plain
          tag name when the corresponding start event inferred the same plain
          tag name to be in the default namespace.
        
        * When an open file-like object is passed into ``parse()`` or
          ``iterparse()``, the parser will no longer close it after use.  This
          reverts a change in lxml 2.3 where all files would be closed.  It is
          the users responsibility to properly close the file(-like) object,
          also in error cases.
        
        * Assertion error in lxml.html.cleaner when discarding top-level elements.
        
        * In lxml.cssselect, use the xpath 'A//B' (short for
          'A/descendant-or-self::node()/B') instead of 'A/descendant::B' for the css
          descendant selector ('A B'). This makes a few edge cases to be consistent
          with the selector behavior in WebKit and Firefox, and makes more css
          expressions valid location paths (for use in xsl:template match).
        
        * In lxml.html, non-selected ``<option>`` tags no longer show up in the
          collected form values.
        
        * Adding/removing ``<option>`` values to/from a multiple select form
          field properly selects them and unselects them.
        
        Other changes
        --------------
        
        * Static builds can specify the download directory with the
          ``--download-dir`` option.
