Right. >So your >endElement method would set something in self.pages based on the tag >indicated and the data built up from the characters method and any of >the attrs from the start tag.

If you want to use the >startElement/characters/endElement approach, I can try to find a small >example I've written and send it to you off-list. I need the different element handlers (start, end and characters) to collect lots of small data parts that are spread all over the file and make a series of objects from it (stored in self.pages). My first attempt used DOM, but I get a cleaner, more readable, better extendable code with SAX. And I guess it's easier to make a SAX parser asynchronous. I'd be interested in your code, if you were so kind. (I'm on going in holidays now, so I guess you'll get an out of office reply, but I'll read my mail sometimes.)
