Gostaria de analisar um enorme xml (> 200MB) usandolxml.etree em Python. Eu tentei usaretree.parse para carregar o arquivo XML, mas isso não funciona devido ao tamanho do arquivo:

etree.parse('file.xml')Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "lxml.etree.pyx", line 2706, in lxml.etree.parse (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:49958)

lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: Excessive depth in document: 256 use XML_PARSE_HUGE option, line 1276, column 7

Como eu quero usar expressões xpath, tenho que analisar o arquivo primeiro. Como posso, portanto, analisar o arquivo XML? Como eu usoXML_PARSE_HUGE em conexão comlxml.etree?

Obrigado!
