So when parsing a.xml, you parse it, then use more complex tags to define with b.config..

Terms like tags, and xml also come to mind. Or parsing, or regular expressions, or re, or find, or alot of things come to mind. My experience is limited, but not by much, and certainly not in respect to the scope of other languages. But thank you for the references, I'm not so good, that, I can't afford to look through a bunch of coal to find a diamond. > > Stefan > > _______________________________________________ > Tutor maillist - tu...@python.org > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor > -- They're installing the breathalyzer on my email account next week. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
