Things have certainly changed since all that. You can easily correct your own sample code using the standard Python docs: http://python.org/doc/current/lib/module-xml.sax.html Which I admit could be better organized (nor would more examples hurt). See also my Akara page on Python/SAX http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/akara/nodes/2003-01-01/sax I have a lot on SAX in recent installments of my column: http://www.xml.com/pub/au/84 -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Use CSS to display XML - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/x-dw-x-xmlcss-i.html Location, Location, Location - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/11/24/py-xml.html The State of Python-XML in 2004 - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/10/13/py-xml.html Be humble, not imperial (in design) - http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=10286XMLOpen and more XML Hacks - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-think27.html A survey of XML standards - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-stand4/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
