I am attempting to parse a file that contains a list of these:

        <card number="1" price="0" name="Trade Secrets"/>

and I would like to pull out the number and name strings. I am currently using SAX in the document for another parser (xml formatted so I can use characters()). Can I use xml.sax.processingInstruction() or do I need to do something else? And how do I implement it? The pydocs are not helping me any right now.

price and name are attributes of the card node; processing instructions are not something you're interested in here. Think you're looking for this.

Thanks Jack, I finally did find what I was looking for. I have no xml background, so pointing me to the attributes helped a lot. What I needed here was this piece of code in my parser:

def startElement(self, name, attrs):
      if(name=='card'):
            cardname = attrs.get('name')
            cardnumber= attrs.get('number')
 

That found the needed information and returned it.Thanks for starting me in the right direction!
