So you tried the first choice (PyXML) rather than the second (Amara). OK. You were not clear on that. Your first problem is that you're using xml.dom.ext.reader.FromXmlStream rather than from xml.dom import minidom doc = minidom.parse(string.strip(self.cnfDtls.GetLogFilePath())) ... doc.toprettyxml() (rather than xml.dom.ext.PrettyPrint) That's the fault of the PyXML docs, which should really be updated. Side question: you mean you're appending a node to the document element, right? Not the root document. The latter would result in an invalid XML document entity. In the code you posted, it looks as if you only append to subsidiary nodes, so that should be OK. Even using 4DOM, your general approach should work, and I've used it oftentimes before (in the far-off past), with no problem, so I wonder: Are you sure self.xmlFile is "empty" at the point of the xml.dom.ext.PrettyPrint? If so, I suggest you whittle down a test case that reveals the apparent bug, and post data and complete, runnable code (preferably after switching to minidom). If it seems a clear bug, you can use the PyXML bug tracker. -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org http://fourthought.com Use CSS to display XML - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/x-dw-x-xmlcss-i.html Introducing the Amara XML Toolkit - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/01/19/amara.html Be humble, not imperial (in design) - http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=10286 UBL 1.0 - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-think28.html Manage XML collections with XAPI - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-xapi.html Default and error handling in XSLT lookup tables - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tiplook.html Packaging XSLT lookup tables as EXSLT functions - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tiplook2.html _______________________________________________ XML-SIG maillist - XML-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig
