[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
