In this particular case, I need to sort the elements, and the specific application I'm testing guarantees that the order of the elements "in the same scope" (this may not be the right term in XML semantics, but it's what I know how to say) does not matter. That probably means that the specific application I'm testing is not using XML in a standard way, but so be it. I'm looking at minidom now and I think maybe there's enough documentation there that I can get a handle on it and do what I need to do. Thanks. (But if anyone else has a specific example I can crib from, that'd be great.) --JMike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
