getting text out of an xml string
Yo, So I have almost convinced a small program to do what I want it to do. One thing remains (at least, one thing I know of at the moment): I am converting xml to some other format, and there are strings in the xml like this. The python: elif v == "content": print "content", a.childNodes[0].nodeValue what gets printed: content \u3c00note xml:space="preserve"\u3e00see forms in red inbox \u3c00/note\u3e00 what this should say is "see forms in red inbox" because that is what the the program whose xml file i am trying to convert, properly displays, because that is what I typed in oh so long ago. So my question to you is, how can I convert this "enhanced" version to a normal string? Esp. since there is this "xml:space="preserve"" thing in there ... I suspect the rest is just some unicode issue. Thanks for any help. J "long time no post" T -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

You will Hi John, I realized that a few minutes after posting. I then realized that I could just extract the text between the stuff with \u3c00 xml preserve etc, which I did; it was good enough since it was a one-off affair, I had to convert a to-do list from one program to another. Thanks for replying and sorry for the noise :-) JT -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
pycrypto rsa inverse of p modulo q
Looking up into Crypto.PublicKey.RSA, I see there is a computed value named "u" for which I can't see the use. The value of "u" is the inverse of p modulo q, in the code: obj.u = pubkey.inverse(obj.p, obj.q) Can someone tell me where this value could be used in the RSA scheme? (it is not used in the code anyway) Thx, -- jt -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
