|

| | | | of the arrangement of other modules.

* Document the limitation that urllib does not work with proxies whichFred Drake2000-08-311-5/+9

* New method getnamespace.Sjoerd Mullender2000-08-311-0/+5
| | | | | | Since the application never gets to see the namespace abbreviation used in the XML document, but some applications may need to know them, we provide this method.

| | | | portable.
