I need to parse XML file and put results on HTML form, but I am new to Python. Does Python 2.7 have something like LINQ to XML from C# or any good library for XML can suggest me ?

Check out Pynq – Python Language Integrated Query https://github.com/heynemann/pynq/wiki
I’m sure though if Pynq will be sufficient for you, although it does implement exprenssion trees in Python just like LINQ does for C#.
For an easy way to access XML in Python, you could check out BeautifulSoup (http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/documentation.html). Note: for XML processing: use
BeautifulStoneSoupfor XML processing.A simple example: “find first three a tags”
For a more comprehensive selection of XML libraries for Python, please see “PythonXml” in PythonInfo Wiki.
