How do I set non-default namespace tags in elements > without the automatic xmlns:se attribute repeated each time? ET 1.2's standard serializer doesn't take explicitly set namespaces into account. If you want full control over namespace generation, you have to do it yourself: http://effbot.org/zone/element-namespaces.htm#explicitly-setting-namespace-attributes ET 1.3 provides a default_namespace option for this specific case (but you still have to use universal names for everything that should go into the default namespace). </F> -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
