find_libs()

source code

Run through ETREE_MODULES and find ElementTree implementations so that any type can be encoded.

We work through the C implementations first, then the pure Python versions. The downside to this is that all libraries will be imported but only one is ever used. The libs are small (relatively) and the flexibility that this gives seems to outweigh the cost. Time will tell.

is_xml(obj)

source code

Determines obj is a valid XML type.

If types is not populated then find_libs be called.
