python xpath

[Jason Jesso]

flight = self.ctxt.xpathEval( "table/tr/td/a/text()" )
print flight[0]

I am evaluating this xpath expression using python's libxml2.

How can I get the actual text data? When I print the result set I get text
node information, like the address and stuff.

This is probably a stupid question, but I can't seem to get it.

Thanks for any help.

try help(libxml2) from the interpreter, or pydoc libxml2 from the shell. I'd do

print flight[0].content

(or getContent(), or get_content())
