Using XML gives you portability at the expense of increased code manipulating the data structures. Try creating a button with "<<<" as the label and you'll find why your xml solution isn't ideal. For anything non-trivial you'll find it much better to use one of the existing xml libraries to build your xml and then you'll find why the non-xml solution looks simpler. Generally speaking you make the decision to use xml or not based on a lot of factors. Sometimes it is the best solution, other times using something like a Python pickle might be better. Use whichever you are happy with here. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
