Thats right the string is the XML document, just as if you had read it from a file with the read() method. > Does anyone have any suggestions on getting relevant data? You need to parse the xml. The classic way to do that is using DOM or sax parsing, but Python now has the ElementTree parser which is usually much easier to use. Look at the module docs and for a lot more detail visit the ElementTree homepage: http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm HTH, -- Alan Gauld Author of the Learn to Program web site http://www.freenetpages.co.uk/hp/alan.gauld _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
