Amara: Where's my attribute?

[AdSR]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with the Amara toolkit. Try this:

>>> from amara import binderytools
>>> raw = '<pq:test xmlns="http://example.com/namespace" xmlns:pq="http://pq.com/ns2"/>'
>>> rwd = binderytools.bind_string(raw)
>>> print rwd.xml()
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pq:test xmlns:pq="http://pq.com/ns2"/>

What happened to the xmlns attribute? Does anyone know a solution to
this? The only workaround I found is to:

>>> rwd.test.xml_set_attribute(u'xmlns', u'http://example.com/namespace')
u'xmlns'
>>> print rwd.xml()
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<pq:test xmlns:pq="http://pq.com/ns2"
xmlns="http://example.com/namespace"/>

but it only helps if you know what to patch.

My setup:

Python 2.4.3
4Suite 1.0b3
Amara 1.0

I see that people have reported similar problems with other XML
toolkits, so I guess this is a general namespace ugliness.

Regards,
