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

[John Fleck <jfleck inkstain net>]

Try this:

#!/usr/bin/python -u
import libxml2

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 = doc.newDocNode(None, "title", None)
para.addChild(title)
print doc.serialize(None,1)
