FourThought LLC (http://FourThought.com) announces the release of 4DOM 0.8.0, An implementation of the W3C's Document Object Model in Python.

4DOM is a close implementation of the DOM recommendation, including DOM Core level 1, DOM HTML level 1, Node Iterator and Node Filter from DOM Level 2, and a few utility and helper components. 4DOM can work in a CORBA* enviroment, or in a purely local set-up.

4DOM is designed to allow developers rapidly design applications that read, write or manipulate HTML and XML.

News

There have been many changes to 4DOM since the last major release, 0.7.0. There were two more releases, which were only bundled with 4XSL. For a complete listing, please see:

But some highlights:

XML Namespace support (proprietary until W3C decides chooses between the proposed Level 2 interfaces)
Several interface changes in Ext
Re-organized module structure
Explicit garbage-collection method
Better-tested Fnorb and Ilu support
Many bug-fixes
