Just for others, this was answered here: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/xml-sig/2005-March/010989.html I also provide a useful mix-in class for this purpose in Amara's saxtools: http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/01/19/amara.html http://cvs.4suite.org/viewcvs/Amara/lib/saxtools.py?rev=1.9&view=markup In the latter link see class namespace_mixin, which you should be able to copy to your code if you don't want to install Amara). -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Use CSS to display XML, part 2 - http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/x-dw-x-xmlcss2-i.html Introducing the Amara XML Toolkit - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/01/19/amara.html Gems from the Mines: 2002 to 2003 - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/03/02/pyxml.html Be humble, not imperial (in design) - http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=10286 Querying WordNet as XML - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-think29.html Packaging XSLT lookup tables as EXSLT functions - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tiplook2.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
