What's the best way to read XML in Python? Need help parsing! or How do I read XML files in Python ef

If you're trying to *read xml python* files, `xml.etree.ElementTree` is your best friend for simplicity. It's built-in, so no extra installs needed.

For quick parsing, try this:
```python
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse('file.xml')
root = tree.getroot()
```
Boom, done.

If you need speed, `lxml` is faster but heavier. Stick with ET for starters!
