Hmm, I copied your program from your posting.  I had to correct some
indentation problems in startElement, which I don't know if you had in the
original.  I copied the example xml file in the how-to.  It ran perfectly.

I used both Python 1.5.2 and Python 2.1.3 on Windows 2000, pyxml 0.70.

I can't be sure what your problem is.  It might be indentation, although
that wouldn't produce that particular error message, I wouldn't think.
Otherwise there might have been a problem with the installation - one of the
other people on this list who uses Linux should be able to help on that.
But the code is right, at least if you fix the indenting.

I guess the most recent version, which I haven't gotten yet, could have
changed something that caused the trouble.  Martin should know about that.

Cheers,
