Well the appending trick worked. From some logging I figured out that it was reading through those bits of current_data before getting to the subfield ending element (which is kinda obvious when you think about it). So I just used a += and made sure to clear out current_data when it hits a subfield ending element. Thanks! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
