Hi Luca,
Yes, of course I can. My main goal in contacting you was 1) to make
sure my local modification was correct, and 2) alert you to the issue.
Both of those goals have now been achieved.
Thanks!
Chris
PS Would you please let me know when you do push the updated code, so I
know when it is safe to delete my local patch file.

>>> First of all, are you referring to the output of a WPS DescribeProcess request (not "DescribeCoverage") ? If so, I think the output contains "LiteralData" elements, not "LiteralOutput", for example you can run the following request straight out of the OWSlib package (see below). I don't see any "LiteralOutput" tag... But off course I could be wrong, in which case can you send an example request and response ?
