Me, too. Experience has taught me that if you need to hack together a suboptimal parser in a short time for *any* language, the use of regexps in combination with other logic is quite a reasonable way to proceed. It gets the job done quickly, and in an easily-maintained manner. However, I wouldn't do that for XML; there's just no need. For pure XML-qua-XML, I'm also using Richard Tobin's RXP (http://www.cogsci.ed.ac.uk) in the context of pyRXPU (http://www.reportlab.com/software/opensource/pyrxp/). I like these tools a lot. Very hackable, too. I'm also still using James Clark's nsgmls in actual production (SGML never quite went away, even in files that have been presumably migrated to XML).
