If i remove the xlink > namespace, it then does not produce a traceback. so where in that file do you see an xlink declaration? (elementtree doesn't fetch external DTD:s, so putting in the DTD file doesn't really help). adding xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" to the "svg" element should make the problem go away. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
