Hi,
I have a VB.NET (VS2005, .NET 2.0) application producing an XML file which
is then used by a third-party product. It turns out the latter doesn't like
self-closing tags (i.e. it would rather see <CardNo></CardNothan <CardNo
/>).
Is there a simple way to tell the XMLDocument to use the "traditiona l" way
of showing an empty tag instead of always saving self-closing tags?
Many thanks,
David Cartwright

With XML <CardNo></CardNohas the same semantics as <CardNo/or
<CardNo /so you should rather blame that third party tool to not
conform to the XML specification.
As for trying to change your XML with .NET tools, how exactly do you
create the XML? If you use an XmlWriter then use WriteFullEndEle ment
<http://msdn2.microsoft .com/en-us/library/system.xml.xmlw riter.writefull endelement.aspx >
as that way you can ensure the <CardNo></CardNosyntax.
If you are using XmlDocument/XmlElement then there is a property IsEmpty
that you can set to false to get the form <CardNo></CardNo>.

Yup. But they're so useless that if I ask them to fix their end, it'll be at
least Christmas ... and not necessarily the one in 2007 either.

I have a load of node creations looking like:
revXML.Document Element.AppendC hild(revXML.Imp ortNode(tmpNode , True))
.... as what I'm doing is pulling nodes out of an input XML document and then
streaming them out to two others.

Then loop through
foreach (XmlElement element in revXML.SelectNo des("//*[not(node())]"))
and set the IsEmpty property of those XmlElement instances to false.

That's great - thanks so much.

When doing object-oriented stuff, it bothers me to have to type "self" so
many times. I propose that Python allow the programmer to optionally type
".variable" instead of "self.variable" to mean the same thing. Of course,
the interpreter would have to be more careful about detecting floats that
begin with just a period as in ".5". What are your thoughts?

In analysing a very big application (pysol) made of almost
100 sources, I had the need to remove comments.
Removing the comments which take all the line is straightforward...
Instead for the embedded comments I used the tokenize module.
To my surprise the analysed output is different from the input
(the last tuple element should exactly replicate the input line)
The error comes out in correspondance of a triple string.
