DOM question - AttributeError: setAttribute

Asked by DeepBlade

Perhaps my python skills are fading away.. but I'm getting the error "AttributeError: setAttribute"

when I attempt to apply an attribute to a document object:

newDeviceHWID = xml.createDocument(None, "devicehwid", None)
newDeviceHWID.setAttribute("colour", "blue")

Can someone give me an example of how it should be done?

setAttribute() is only defined for elements.
newDeviceHWID only contains the root element after creation: root = newDeviceHWID.documentElement

now you can append newly created elements:
body = newDeviceHWID.createElement("body")
root.appendChild(body)
body.setAttribute(...)
