[PyKDE] brain-deadness

[tech at bishop.dhs.org]

Working through the examples in Boudewijn's book, I've come across
something.  In chap. 7, it discussing using signals and slots to create
a little xml parser, which then displays in a tree list view.  It just
so happens that my next project is using xml and pyqt, so this
interested me.  However, (and I must be even more braindead than usual
to not understand this) how do I associate the "data" with the "tag"?
For instance, when you have a contruct like this: <tag>this is
data</tag>, the unknown_starttag signal is fired when it reaches <tag>,
and the handle_data signal is fired when it gets to "this is data", but
I'm not getting how you would say that "when unknown_starttag fires on
tag == "tag", then next handle_data should be directed to foo, which is
what I want/need.

Example code is attached (direct from the book!), along with example xml
file (and you might see what my project is ;-).  I don't need working
code in response, just a general idea of what to do.  Oh, and "get more
sleep, idiot" would be valid, but non-helpful B-)

Thanks,

D.A.Bishop
