New submission from Bryce Nesbitt:
ElementTree offers a wonderful and easy API for parsing XML... but if there is
a namespace involved it suddenly gets ugly. This is a proposal to fix that.
First an example:
--
!/usr/bin/python
# Demonstrate awkward behavior of namespaces in
Bryce Nesbitt added the comment:
The mere existence of popular solutions like
'item.tag.split("}")[1][0:]' argues something is wrong. What could
lmxl do to make this cleaner (even if the ticket proposal is junk).
