It should be a trivial fix. The Space class in parser.py just needs to
be updated to use one of the specific Space classes and the other
classes need to use SpaceBase instead of Space as an argument to
getFirstAncestor().

I can think of two options: create an XODE extension that allows the
user to set the space class; or, allow the user to pass an argument to
the XODE parser indicating which space class to use. Maybe they could
both be implemented by using the space class specified by a parser
parameter unless it is overridden by the extension. Any thoughs?
