Hi Jack,

IIRC, XML doesn't look at white space. If this is so, you can still
use option A (which I prefer) and still have files listed on their
own line. Something like this:
<kwargs>
<arg name="uncompressed_files">
file1
file2
file3
</arg>
</kwargs>
... and even if XML does look at white space, you can still parse the
list you get from XML into individual words (files).
True, we could do it this way. The parsing just becomes
harder though so I'd like to keep it really simple and stupid
if possible.
So according to Keith, XML preserves whitespace.
Perhaps we could require a comma between names (to account for blanks in
a name) and split() on commas and then left and right strip the
resulting strings of whitespace. That would be only a few additional
lines of python, unless there is something I'm not taking into account.
Thanks,
Jack
