I fully concur. The design of XML, in general, is not the best demonstration of aesthetics in programming. But namespaces always seem to me to be one further step in the WTF direction. This is precisely why I didn't reject this issue right away: perhaps it's not a bad idea to provide Python programmers with *some* way to ease namespace-related tasks (even if they go against the questionable design principles behind XML). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18304> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
