Sounds like a problem with the data to me rather than SAX. However, SAX tends to make things much more complex than necessary, so you loose the sight on the real problems. Try a library like ElementTree or lxml to make your life easier. You might especially like lxml.objectify. http://effbot.org/zone/element.htm http://effbot.org/zone/element-iterparse.htm http://codespeak.net/lxml/dev/ http://codespeak.net/lxml/dev/objectify.html Stefan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
