The ones that we already have are the native bindings which ship with
libxml2. lxml aims to be easier to deal with. Announcement (from back in
2005) and their website:

I already use lxml for the IRC bot which is sitting on #opencsw and as I
am no programmer (not to speak of XML), it is easy to deal with ;)
