  Did you push that code anywhere ;-) ?
I can think of 2 very different ways to do the implementation (tree + paths
or direct SAX2 event flow) and would probably end up doing the second one
though the code might be more complex. It might depends on the efficiency of
the Python side, it may not be worth shaving microseconds and kilobytes
on the C side if the Python side is one order of magnitude slower, in which
case the simplest C code would be best.
