[reportlab-users] Problem parsing file

[Brandon Rich]

I have a file named violation that contains both paragraph and image
tags.  While trying to pass these to a PDF, I can get the <para> to pass
and display properly but not the <image>.  I think this is because the
tags themselves are being passed with the .jpg and as a result, I keep
getting an error.  Can someone please give insight as to what they may
think the problem is, and any ideas how to get around it?

Thanks
B

file = open("violation.tmpl", "r")
        tree = parse(file)
        elem = tree.getroot()
        for para in elem.findall('para'):
            contents.append(Paragraph(ElementTree.tostring(para),
paragraphStyle, None))
        for image in elem.findall('image'):
            contents.append(Image(ElementTree.tostring(image)))
