XPath and Selectors are identical, and shouldn't be co-developed from Tab Atkins Jr. on 2011-11-29 (public-webapps@w3.org from October to December 2011)
Another bomb has been dropped. Let the fun beging. Pop Corn time.Neither of these are true. The second could have been defended as true several years ago, but not today. I will defend my statement, and then make the further argument that, due to the two being identical, it is a bad idea to develop both of them.

getElementsBySelector - CSS Query Selector for HTML DOM < Scripts < Python < Bin-Co
getElementsBySelector is a python function which takes a standard CSS style selector and returns an array of elements objects from the document that match that selector. This is a frequently used function in JavaScript - if you use a library. Its kind of meaning less to have this function in the server side - unless you are doing screen-scarping. Then its very useful. Recently, I had to work on a Django app that does a bit of screen-scrapping - so I created this function to aid me.
