Please show us code actual stacktraces. Python can generate XML just fine, so it's pretty likely that you are doing something wrong. Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Could you please elaborate on fails to create the string, preferably in the form of a traceback. It might also help us if we knew what behaviour you expected or what do you mean by i remove the colon .

OK
first thanks for replying so soon (most other groups out there take
days)
here is the code
xml = '?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8? \
findItemsAdvancedRequest xmlns=http://www.ebay.com/marketplace/
search/v1/services \
categoryId%(category)i/categoryId \
keywords%(searchtext)s/keywords \
paginationInput \
pageNumber%(page)i/pageNumber \
entriesPerPage10/entriesPerPage \
/paginationInput \
/findItemsAdvancedRequest' % \
{'category':9834, 'searchtext':bmw, 'page':1}
print xml
if i run this, the page is blank (even the source) with no errors or
anything. if i remove the colon from the string (after the http) it
prints the string on the browser fine.

you can use a tri-quote string or make sure all lines end with \:
xml1 = ?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?
findItemsAdvancedRequest xmlns=http://www.ebay.com/marketplace/\
search/v1/services
categoryId%(category)i/categoryId
keywords%(searchtext)s/keywords
paginationInput
pageNumber%(page)i/pageNumber
entriesPerPage10/entriesPerPage
/paginationInput
/findItemsAdvancedRequest % \
{'category':9834, 'searchtext':bmw, 'page':1}
xml2 = '?xml version=1.0 encoding=utf-8?\n\
findItemsAdvancedRequest xmlns=http://www.ebay.com/marketplace/\
search/v1/services\n\
categoryId%(category)i/categoryId\n\
keywords%(searchtext)s/keywords\n\
paginationInput\n\
pageNumber%(page)i/pageNumber\n\
entriesPerPage10/entriesPerPage\n\
/paginationInput\n\
/findItemsAdvancedRequest' % \
{'category':9834, 'searchtext':bmw, 'page':1}
print xml1

StarWing,
The triple String works a treat thanks. Not sure what the colon issue
was though. Now im getting Unsupported verb errors but thats an ebay
API issue i can work with.
Thanks to all for your help
