(1) Finally, string provides a very Pythonic oddball.

(2) A Pythonic approach might come from a different direction.

(3) In particular, it is not very Pythonic to access data using getters and setters, or other similar methods.

(4) Until recently, the only way xml_objectify worked was to create a DOM tree, then recurse through that tree to generate the "Pythonic" objects.

(5) The first step for xml2sql is to create a "Pythonic" object using xml_objectify.

(6) In fact, the community has a term for code that follows a preferred style: pythonic.

(7) In order to descend recursively and with ease through XML nodes, I utilized the high-level Pythonic interface provided by xml_objectify.

(8) In addition, there have always been third-party libraries that offer higher-level or more pythonic interfaces.

(9) XML developers who have struggled with DOM performance or with the event-driven model of SAX now have the chance to work with higher-level pythonic libraries.
