I'm referring to xmlns/URI prefixes. Here's a code example:
from xml.etree.cElementTree import iterparse
from cStringIO import StringIO
xml = """<root xmlns="http://www.very_long_url.com"><child/></
root>"""
for event, elem in iterparse(StringIO(xml)): print event, elem
The output is:
end <Element '{http://www.very_long_url.com}child' at 0xb7ddfa58>
end <Element '{http://www.very_long_url.com}root' at 0xb7ddfa40>
I don't want these "{http://www.very_long_url.com}" in front of my
tags.
They create performance disaster on large files (first cElementTree
adds them, then I have to remove them in python). Is there any way to
tell cElementTree not to mess with my tags? I need that in the
standard python distribution, not my custom cElementTree build...
