Bart, Good to hear from you again. OK. So, let me see if I understand this and whether I can explain it. Method gds_build_any is an empty stub. It's purpose is to enable a gDS user to add code that builds whatever content might be in his/her XML instance documents as specified by xs:any. But, because the XML Schema used xs:any to specify child content and does *not* specify what type of children can occur at that location, there is no way for gDS to know how to generate the code to build those children. And, so, the intention is to enable the user to create and use a customized version of the class GeneratedsSuper, in which the stub method gds_build_any is defined. Note the import statement and the try:except: immediately before class GeneratedsSuper in the generated code. If you do have an XML schema that contains xs:any specifications of child content, then what you will need to do is: 1. Copy and paste the generated definition of class GeneratedsSuper into a file named generatedssuper.py. 2. Modify the definition of gds_build_any so that it builds whatever child instances occur in your XML instance documents. 3. When you run or import that generated code, make sure that your module generatedssuper.py is somewhere that Python can import it.
