Well, further research reveals that this function isn't available yet in any version. But I guess my question remains, is there still a way to do this, given the way Element instances are constructed? I would assume you can't just use ElementTree to write them to a file, but perhaps there is a different way to write to a file that still uses the Element objects? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
