Hi, I am a beginner in XML and Python as well and I am trying to learn as
much as possible by writing some examples myself. I created a very simple
xml file with just one element. Then I loaded the file into the DOM tree
using the 4DOM parser. Once the it was loaded, I appended a couple of child
elements to the root. This was all fine, but when I went back to the xml
file nothing was updated. Isn't the xml file supposed to be updated
automatically from the DOM tree? If not, what I do have to do to see the
changes?
Thanks.

This is the python script
---------------------------
import sys
from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2
# create Reader object
reader = Sax2.Reader()
# parse the document
doc = reader.fromStream(someFileName.xml)
new = document.createElement('chapter')
new.setAttribute('number', '5')
document.documentElement.appendChild(new)
