Stefan said "Element", not "element". "Element" is a class in the "ElementTree" module, which can be used to *represent* an XML element in an XML infoset, including all the data *inside* the XML element, and any data *between* that XML element and the next one (which is always character data, of course). It's not very difficult, really; especially if you, as Stefan said, think in infoset terms rather "a sequence of little piggies" terms. </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
