 | |from pyxie import File2PYX    # PYX is the notation pyxie uses for
 | |import string		      # parsed XML
 | |
 | |f = File2PYX('hithere.xml')
 | |data = f.read()
 | |f.close()
 | |data = string.split(data)
 | |
 | |dict = {}
 | |for line in data:
 | |    if line[0] = '(':         # '(' at the beginning of the line in 
 | |			      # PYX indicates an element
 |
 |Pyxie is a good tool.  But just to pick nits, using string.split isn't safe
 |with Pyxie output.  :-)

In case it wasn't obvious to some, the fix is to change split to:

    data = string.split(data, '\n')
