> Specifically, I am trying to add encoding and some namespace stuff. The XML declaration and the DTD that may appear in the prolog are optional. [22] prolog ::= XMLDecl? Misc* (doctypedecl Misc*)? [23] XMLDecl ::= '<?xml' VersionInfo EncodingDecl? SDDecl? S? '?>' If your encoding is UTF-8 (or ASCII ...) you don't need an XML declaration. Otherwise everything depends on the XML lib you use. For ElementTree, `tostring(elt, "ISO-8859-1")` for example will automatically include the right declaration at the beginning of your xml string ... There is no namespace information inside the prolog. Such "stuff" may appear inside the root element. Again, RTFM of your specific XML lib :) For ElementTree, see http://effbot.org/zone/element.htm#xml-namespaces Cheers, SB -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
