> It looks likes I was not clear enough: XML doesn't have the concept of lines. When you process XML "by line" you have buggy code.
No Peter, I'm pretty sure it was I who was less than clear. The xml data is generated by events, one line in a log for each event, so while xml doesn't have the concept of lines, each event creates a new line of xml data in the log from which I will be reading. Sorry about the confusion. I should have phrased it better, perhaps calling them events instead of lines? > Just for fun take the five minutes to install lxml and compare the output of the two scripts. If it's the same now there's no harm switching to lxml, and you are making future failures less likely. I'll take a look at it, thanks. regards, Richard _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
