Knowing regular expressions is an all around good idea when doing data processing. Steep learning curve but pays itself off in increased productivity.

What stream XML parsers do you use? I just get my data ready for Hadoop and let it go.

To be honest, I just kind of think I know that there are stream XML parsers? I've used cElementTree when I have small XML documents and written my own regex for larger ones. (cElementTree is definitely not a stream parser)
