FWIW I had some sucess using Sax2 last night:- import sys from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2 # create Reader object reader = Sax2.Reader() # parse the document dom1 = reader.fromStream('200406archive010.xml') for node in dom1.getElementsByTagName("blog"): id = node.getAttribute("id") print int(id) for contentNode in node.getElementsByTagName("text"): for titleNode in contentNode.getElementsByTagName("blogtitle"): print titleNode.firstChild.data for titleNode in contentNode.getElementsByTagName("blogbody"): print titleNode.firstChild.data -- Rick Hurst http://hypothecate.co.uk _______________________________________________ XML-SIG maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig
