[xml] how to add namespace-less node in python

[Hannu Krosing <hannu tm ee>]

Hallo

I need to add a node that has no namespace prefix while building xml doc
in python (for my home-made SOAP server/client lib).

I know that such a tree is possible, as it is correctly generated by
libxml2.parseFile :

> > > d = libxml2.parseFile('nstest.xml')
> > > print d.serialize(None,1)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc xmlns:a="http://www.krosing.net/testns";>
  <a:para>
    <title/>
  </a:para>
</doc>


But I am unable to make similar tree programmatically:
 
> > > doc = libxml2.newDoc("1.0")
> > > root = doc.newChild(None, "doc", None)
> > > docns = root.newNs("http://www.krosing.net/testns","a";)
> > > para = root.newChild(docns, "para", None)
> > > title = para.newChild(None, "title", None)
> > > print doc.serialize(None,1)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc xmlns:a="http://www.krosing.net/testns";>
  <a:para>
    <a:title/>
  </a:para>
</doc>

I want to get <title/> and not <a:title/> .

What am I doing wrong ?
