I am looking to find the best answer to my question, but in the mean time I have resorted to monkey patching.
def _write_data_no_quote(writer, data): "Writes datachars to writer." data = data.replace("&", "&").replace("<", "<") data = data.replace(">", ">") writer.write(data) minidom._write_data = _write_data_no_quote Maybe this is the best way to do this. I'm not sure. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
