Hey Curtis,

The xmlrpc module has routines to convert structures to XML (it's on
www.pythonware.com)

.. But if you want more control over what the XML looks like, you
could always start with something like:


def xmlify(somearray):
    res = "<cell>"
    for item in somearray:
        if type(item)==type([]):
            res = res + xmlify(item)
	else:
	    res = res + item
    res = res + "</cell>"
    return res


print '<?xml version="1.0"?>'
print xmlify(yourMultiDimensionalArray)



Cheers,

- Michal
