if the "whatever" in {whatever} is known in advance, you can use the approach described here: http://effbot.org/zone/element-tidylib.htm#converting-xhtml-to-html if the "whatever" is not known, you can do e.g. if elem.tag.startswith("{"): elem.tag = elem.tag.split("}")[1] </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
