One does not really "write to an array". In fact, Python's most natural data structure is a list, which has many array-like features (there is also an array module, but since you are asking basic questions, I'm trying to stick to basic Python).
To append an item to a list, use append. To graft one list on to the end of another, use += or extend. To access the i'th element of a list use [i] (indices are zero-based). This is covered in far better detail in the Python tutorials. These fundamental data structures of Python (list, tuple, dict, set, str) are your fundamental tools when writing Python code, so you should read up on them. > 2nd.. where can i go to find methods of libxml2dom. i've been looking using > google, but can't seem to find a site pointing out the underlying methods, > which is kind of strange... > Try dir and help from the Python interactive command line. Assuming you have installed libxml2dom, do this: import libxml2dom dir(libxml2dom) help(libxml2dom) I see that this module also contains directories for tests and tools, these may provide you with some usage examples.
