I am unfortunately=A0unable to use lxml for a project and must resort to ba=
se only libraries=0A=
to create several nested elements located directly under a root element. Th=
e caveat is the=0A=
incremental writing and flushing of the nested elements as they are created=
.=0A=
=0A=
So assuming the structure is <a><b><c>text</c><d>text</d></b></a> if I woul=
d like to=0A=
manually deconstruct this in order to write each element in order of appear=
ance, is there=0A=
any built in facility for this?=0A=
=0A=
The way I am currently doing is rather pathetic...=0A=
=0A=
Thanks,=0A=
