Hi all,

1. question
the last few days i ve found some information about using xml parsers and i m a little bit confused. I found that there is expat parser, libxml2 parser and python-xml. From what I ve found libxml2 uses expat and makes it faster and python-xml is a python api for handling libxml2 right? 
So if i use python would i have a faster parser than using only expat and also an easy to use api? And also if i use expat would i have a slower parser but with less memory demands?
So far i have choosed to use expat because i think it is more suitable for running in NOKIA 770 because it doesnt need much memory. Is my decision correct? Can someone give me some pros and cons on using one of the three parsers i mentioned above instead of the others?

2. question
Also i want to use GSList form GLib to create lists in my project. Do you think that i would have a problem to compile and run my application on armel and NOKIA 770?

3. question
i choosed to use gtk commands in order to create my graphical interface instead of using python. Do you think that my development time would be slow and my interface of lower quality. Also there is Gazpacho available (but i cant run it for some reason), do you think i should use it?
