Python & DOM

[Drazen Gemic]

Hi !

I need to create a XML document using DOM. How do I set the element value,
after creating it with 'createElement' ? Documentation states that there
is a 'read-only' 'nodeValue' variable. I don't know what means 'read-only
variable' in Python, but the fact is that setting that variable does not
help.

Java DOM API has 'setNodeValue' method. Is there anything corresponding in
Python DOM ?

textNode = yourDocumentElement.createTextNode("the content")
yourElement.appendChild(textNode)

textNode = yourDocumentElement.createTextNode("the content")
yourElement.appendChild(textNode)

Thanks, it works, but 'yourDocumentElement' needs to be of type
'document'. The name leads to conclusion that it needs to be
a root element of the document.
