Sorry to leave you hanging around for an answer! Anyway, it would be interesting to know which version of libxml2 (and its Python bindings) you're using. Unfortunately, I can't find an easy way of doing this within Python (ie. libxml2mod.__version__, libxml2.__version__ or something like that), but inspecting your package manager's records should provide an answer; for example: $ dpkg -l python2.4-libxml2 [...] ii python2.4-libxml2 2.6.17-0ubuntu1 Python 2.4 bindings for the GNOME XML library > Is there something wrong with the package OR I am wrong somewhere . There could be something wrong with the package - I should make the tests more relevant to what the package actually does these days - but I'm guessing that you're using an older version of the libxml2 Python bindings. It could well be that the missing function isn't exposed by earlier versions of the bindings, and yet I've come to rely on that function in order to preserve some reasonable behaviour when parsing documents. The software probably doesn't need a totally up-to-date version of Python, but my experience has been that the more recent a version of libxml2 you can get, the better everything generally is. Paul P.S. Feel free to e-mail me with any problems: my address should be in various places in the libxml2dom distribution. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
