(for people who are cutting and pasting your instructions

No idea why when running this some objects are not returned as such, but as dictionaries. I put in some debug code on line 395:

v.exportxml(outfile, nsk, sublevel, ignorewarning)

and I put in a try-except block with prints to see what 'v' and 'k' were. It turns out 'v' in this instance is just a python dictionary with :

{'ValueOf": number}

while k is any single value (latitude, longitude, dip, etc) for the channel. Also from the channel

{'Name' : ----, 'Description' : ----}

are also spat out as dictionaries. Everything else builds fine. I tried casting, building nodes, etc, but I cannot get this to work, any idea what I'm missing?

Thanks,
