There were several threads on pull parsers on the python xml-sig list a
few months back.  Someone (sorry, I forget who) showed how to wrap a
push parser to get it to act like a pull parser.  Several folks took
that ball and ran with it.

I like the idea.
A pulling parser should be pretty fast when extracting some part of a
large
(valid) XML doc,
because then it only has to count "<" and ">", basically.
