Actually, I've done a bit of work on this, but that work is separate from generateDS.py. And, it is nowhere near complete. I've attached a few files in case you want to take a look. But, again, it will be a long time before that is usable. Your idea of using subclasses generated by generateDS.py sounds very interesting. Taking your suggestion, I've done a bit of work in that direction today. It does some of what we want, but still has problems. Give me another day or two, and I will try to send you something. Thanks much for the suggestions and good guidance. By the way, being able to store XML documents in some kind of back-end database, then serve that data with a REST-ful [1] Web app written with Django sounds like a great idea to me. As clouds and personal clouds become more and more widely used, people are going to also want to have personal data storage that they can access in a location independent way. More later. - Dave [1] Representational State Transfer -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST [very helpful example snipped] -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Protect Your Site and Customers from Malware Attacks Learn about various malware tactics and how to avoid them.
