Just as a heads up, minidom is pretty inefficient and difficult to work with too.
On someone else's advice I switched over to ElementTree and have been really pleased with the results, its much simpler to work with and more efficient too.

I have written a script to add # -*- coding: cp1252 -*- to the beginning of all my scripts, and that has fixed the encoding issues. Another issue was the use of - from _xmlplus.dom import minidom http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=6473 I couldn't get a version of this module for 2.5, so I changed the above to - from xml.dom import minidom The scripts I work with are all working now correctly for 2.5. But I haven't been able to test the whole system as not all of it concerns me. Anyway, my colleges are interested in updating also if it will be reasonably hassle free. So my main concern now is the use of _xmlplus.dom.minidom. Why was it used and what differences should I look out for with regard to xml.dom.mididom Thanks very much for your help, Barry. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
