Thanks for the quick answer, I'll file a ticket later today.
Best,

PyXB's support for mixed content is pretty weak, mostly because
there's no canonical representation (i.e., no way to reconstruct the
proper order of elements and non-element content when converting back
to XML in accordance with the content model). What's supposed to work
is something like:
x = ff.IntervalValue(MinValue="one")
x.append("text", maybe_element=False)
print x.content()
print x.toxml()
but although that puts "text" in as mixed content, it doesn't come out again.
PyXB is supposed to spit out all the non-element content in a block
after the element content, but in fact it doesn't (see
pyxb.binding.basis.complexTypeDefinition._toDOM_csc where it walks
over the mixed content doing nothing).
Please file a ticket at https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/pyxb/ and
I'll look at this.
