Thank you very much! That did it. In the source XML <item> tags have rdf:about attributes with the link to the story, and it was here I planned on grabbing the link and matching it up with the <title> child text. After seeing the output of elmenttree's getiterator() though, it now looks like each item, title, description, and link is a separate element...
I could use a dictionary or lists to match the first title to the first link, but is there a more elegant way in elementtree (or otherwise) to do this? Thanks again, Ian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
