[basex-talk] python client, issue with adding xml files

Hi, The python samples pass an simple xml string to create or add: session = BaseXClient.Session('localhost', 1984, 'admin', 'admin') session.create("database", "<x>Hello World!</x>") but how can I request the server to open a file or a directory? Basically session.create("database", "c:/tmp/myfile.xml") returns the following error message: "database.xml" (Line 1): No text allowed before root element. Thanks in advance for tips Laurent Le Meur
