Problem defining a variable name

1 New Member
Hello everyone.
I'm a novice to XML/XSL so it would be great to learn from the experts.
The ouput of my xml file is BBC EPG(Electronic Programme Guide) table.

I'm having problems defining a variable name for element in xml file.
The output I would like to have is a table is produced with programme name,
programme start time,programme duration and programme details.

The programme start time and programme duration are taken from another xml file,rather than one
defined in the XPATH.I can't seem to manage to extract the data from the second xml file to output values
needed for these two columns, in the format such 2008-11-11T03:35:00Z and PT00H30M00S respectively.
Each programme start/duration need to correspond to programme name/details - at the moment I'm
getting the same value in each cell of programme start/duration.

I think I'm defining the variable required wrong.It would great if somebody could help me.
I've attached the required three files in .zip format.

Thank you very much
John

Hello everyone, I am a newbie to Python with experience in C programming. For my project, I am re-writing C routines as Python functions. I am currently using raw numerical values and was wondering if there is an equivalent of #define in Python for declaring constants. Is there an elegant way of defining constants in Python? Please let me know. Thanks, Sriram

I have managed to populate a dropdown box with a list of all files in the current folder and even filtered them by the extension so that it only displays the .mdb files. However, the menu seems to be holding all of the items in the folder and displaying only the .mdb. This seems to be a problem with the way I am defining the size of the array. If I add my .mdb filter to the array loop I get an 'out of range' error for the n variable?? Can...

I am having a problem with inheritance and static properties. I am writing a data record class object structure for Xoops. Because the table name is dynamic, I have to set it as a static member for each class. However I am having trouble finding a way to pass this static member to the subclass. for instance, /************ SAMPLE RECORD CLASS ***************/

Hi all, I'm trying to write a GUI that will put up multiple widgets in succession. My problem is that each widget also contains the previous widgets when they pop up. How do I reinitialize the widget each time so that it doesn't contain earlier ones? Actually, another question I have is, is there a way to set python so that it will assume any undefined variable is 0 or ''? That is, I have several statements like "If k 0 then so and so"...
