+long_desc="
+ The lxml XML toolkit is a Pythonic binding for the C libraries libxml2 and
+ libxslt. It is unique in that it combines the speed and XML feature completeness
+ of these libraries with the simplicity of a native Python API, mostly compatible
+ but superior to the well-known ElementTree API."
