Re: automatically building Python data structures from DOM trees?

Well, why don't you try my XML Toolkit
http://www.gnucitizen.org/data/download/xt-0.7.BETA.py

This is what to do

import xt
element = xt.Element().loadstring('''<bar>

    <bla>
       <foo id="1" />
       <foo id="2" />
    </bla>
</bar>''')

element = xt.Element().loadfile('myfile.xml')

for e in element:
	print e.name
	print e.namespace

print element

print element['bla'].findall('foo')
print element['bla']['foo'].attributes['id'].namesace
element['bla']['foo'].attributes['id'] = 'This is a new id'

for e in element['bla'].findall('foo'):
	print e.attributes['id'].value


element['bla'].append(Element().loadstring('<foo>Another bla<foo>'))
element['bla'].append(Element('foo'))

Cheers
