http://docs.python.org/dev/library/xml.dom.html#module-xml.dom "PyXML Users that require a full-featured implementation of DOM should use the PyXML package." PyXML however is no longer maintained. Is it a wise idea to link to that resource? Novice users might trust blindly, before finding out about the restrictions they are going to face (maintainence, code fixes..) I suggest adding at least information, that no code fixes are being done, but documentation on the pyxml website is still updated (Thats how i've understood their website. Please correct me if i am wrong. I'm feeling a bit frustrated having spent time with a package, which is no longer maintained, to be honest.)

Yes, the documentation should be changed. I feel sorry that you've wasted your time.

What is to be the fate of PyXML? Incorporation into the core, or abandonment? Or is there a replacement? What is the reason for the lack of maintenance?

I've now removed mention of PyXML from the docs (r59166).
