Thanks for explaining the behavior I was seeing...It is not clear.

Hi John,

Yeah. grin

If there's anything that the XML libraries need, it is better beginner documentation. Much of the documentation for XML in the Standard Library already assumes some prior XML knowledge, which can be a bit infuriating at times.

There's a great set of tutorials that IBM developerworks published on XML and Python, a few months ago; a Google search for "developerworks python xml" should come up with several excellent articles by David Mertz.

Mark Pilgrim's book, "Dive into Python", also has a section on parsing XML:
