Dear All, I guess I don't know where to look for the right information. I hope you guys can help me on the way. I want to retrieve a string from an XML-file. If Python were to have XPath available, my problem would be solved. The xquery string would be enough and I have already obtained that the string. The problem is that I cannot use any add-on - like xmllib, sax2 or elementtree - as my customers only have the so-called stock Python install - i.e. version 2.4.1. I've seen some posts from 2½ years ago by Nelson Minar and also by Uche Ogbuji who wrote: "Nelson says: There's the stock Python install, which barely does anything [for XML]. That's overstated. Plain old SAX and minidom may not be ideal, but they're useable."
Please: where then can I find examples of such use? If I cannot use xpath, I would not mind to browse a bit - e.g. using functions like getElementByTag() but I don't even know how to use those. TIA Kind regards, Dobedani -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
