If we assume that you are looking for functionality and speed is secondary, please have a look at the technique in http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/xsdb/xsdbXML/xsdbXMLpy/functions.py?view=markup which uses the python parser to generate a parse tree for an arbitrary expression and then imposes its own semantics on the tree. In fact take a look at xsdb use guide under "Computing other derived values" http://xsdb.sourceforge.net/guide.html since xsdbXML implements general computations over xml inputs. Let me know if you have any comments/questions/suggestions. -- Aaron Watters === Later on we'll perspire, as we stare at the fire And face so afraid, the bills left unpaid Walking in a winter wonderland. --stolen from "for better or worse" -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
