[OSM-dev] Python XML Parser on Windows

[Frank Steggink]

Hi Spencer,

I'd definitely recommend lxml: https://lxml.de/. One of the benefits of 
lxml is that it is cross platform.
You can find Windows binaries for lxml and many other Python libraries 
here: https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/#lxml

Regards,

Frank
