SAX questions...

[Timothy Grant]

I've worked with DOM before, but never SAX, I have a script that seems to work 
quite well, but every time I look at it I think it's amazingly unweildly and 
that I must be doing something wrong. 

def startElement(self, name, attr):
    if name == "foo":
	do_foo_stuff()
    elif name == "bar":
        do_bar_stuff()
    elif name == "baz":
        do_baz_stuff()

There's similar code in endElement() and characters() and of course, the more 
tags that need processing the more unweildly each method becomes.

I could create a dictionary and dispatch to the correct method based on a 
dictionary key. But it seems to me there must be a better way.

Is there?
