Subject: [BangPypers] Empty element in xml
Message-ID: <CAN+DPADNgMiN+AFwhhotPDORVdyuRyEmM5RrX7GzW6MtPSwL_A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi All, I am stuck with wierd problem . I am dealing with a legacy
system(written in C)  that deals with using some xml. The xml is
created with python. Now the trouble is that the legacy system
understands empty element as:

<element><element>

where as using python libs lxml or xml.etree or anything empty element
is written as
<element/> is there a way I can change that. So that I don't have to
make any changes in the legacy system.


Thanks
Amit

Have pretty much quit using Python XML parsers other than lxml,
but lxml can both read and write such tags. I would be surprised if
xml.etree could not do that.

from lxml import etree

# Read:
xml = '<a></a>'
root = etree.fromstring( xml )
print etree.tostring( root )

# Write:
root = etree.Element( 'doc' )
child = etree.SubElement( root, 'a' )
# Set empty string as element content: Open/close tags forced
child.text = ''
print etree.tostring( root )

Gora

I ended up using method=html for writing the xml.

tree.write(filename, encoding="utf-8", xml_declaration=True, method='html')

I am not sure if there are going to be any problems with this but for
the time being my nosetests seem to be working fine

I would not do that at all. There are subtle differences between HTML
and XML, e.g., HTML allows tags that are not explicitly closed with
</tag>. Try a sub-element with the <img> or <input> tag. In general,
valid HTML is not necessarily valid XML, and vice versa. The bugs
that such an assumption might exercise can be subtle and hard to
catch.

Gora

Hmm that is good point. I guess explicitly setting an empty string
might be the only solution

Hi,
"_sum=sum([n for n in itertools.takewhile(lambda x: x < 400, fib)])
TypeError: 'int' object is not callable"

Probably 'sum' might have been used earlier in the code to store the value
of some integer. "sum" is a builtin function but the moment you assign
sum=(x+y) or something, you have lost that function. If you are doubtful,
do `from __builtin__ import * ` to reclaim your builtin variables and
functions.

Regards,
Abdul Muneer

Yes, you are right. I missed the BIO. Title actually is what I posted,

Hi Kracekumar, fellow pythonistas

There is a linux talk [1] this saturday, from 3-5 pm by Ulrich
Drepper<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulrich_Drepper>[0]

Is there a chance of rescheduling our november meetup ?

In the future, it would be nice to have a little more notice of
monthly meetups, so people can plan a little in advance.
Or are they always held on the 3rd saturday of every month ?

Thanks a ton

cheers
ashish

Hi

 For December meetup we are planning to have Introduction to Python from
9:00 AM to 1:30 PM and usual talks from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM on Dec 21.

The idea is to have basic tutorial for Python, Django, Flask, Salt, Fabric,
Ansible  or any other tutorial in the morning and talks in the evening.

Also we should use system like funnel or google docs to collect the
interest and availability.

Thoughts ?

Great idea Krace. I guess if we have some topics put forth by mailing list
members over this thread then we would have a raw list to work with and then
it can be funneled with specific talks on those topics. For example, I'd
like to learn more about flask, scapy.  And people can come up with their
areas of expertise e.g. Shantanu had given a lightning talk on Graphite in
this meetup. 

If we get a feel of what people what to learn and what talks people are
interested in giving - an intersection of the two could lay a background for
funneling.

Saurabh.

Hello,

Python projects together. Dojos are an informal gathering of Python
developers who'd like to code and brainstrom in small groups and help
each other. The FAQ[1] page has more details.

We use the github repo[2] to plan the dojos, which contains the
logistics[3] with instructions on how to register/RSVP (space will be
limited). If you have any suggestions for workshop topics, tutorials
and other learner resources, fork, clone, add the links to the Kata[4]

Subject: [BangPypers] Internationalization in Python 2.6
Message-ID: <CAKWXfy_4PPLjNZd4xFmJpWv=RU9W0aQJF63btq580yE+F35J7g@mail.gmail.com>

Hi,

How the internationalization works in Python 2.6.

I have an input string to the script. I do not know the encoding of the
string.

I want to write that string to an xml file.

Here I am trying different encoding formats to decode the input string and
make it as unicode.

Then using the same encoding format while creating the xml string and
writing to a file.

Is that approach fine ? or any other way to support internationalization if
we do not know the encoding format for the input string ?

I am getting the xml string without any issues. print xml_string works fine
.

But when it is writing to a file, the tag value got changed, even though I
used the same encoding format used for decoding.

I written a sample code like below

import os
import codecs

from xml.dom.minidom import Document

def write_to_xml(output_string, encod_fmt):
    doc = Document()
    root = doc.createElement('root')
    doc.appendChild(root)
    tag_key = doc.createElement('output_string')
    tag_value = output_string
    tag_key.appendChild(doc.createTextNode((tag_value)))
    root.appendChild(tag_key)
    xml_string =  doc.toprettyxml(indent=" ",encoding=encod_fmt)
    print xml_string
    fname = os.path.join('/root/output.xml')
    doc.writexml(codecs.open(fname,'wb',encod_fmt), encoding=encod_fmt)

def convert_string(input_string):
    try:
        input_string_unicode = input_string.decode('utf-8')
        encoding = 'utf-8'
    except UnicodeDecodeError:
        try:
            input_string_unicode = input_string.decode('Latin-1')
            encoding = 'Latin-1'
        except UnicodeDecodeError:
            try:
                input_string_unicode = input_string.decode('iso-8859-1')
                encoding = 'iso-8859-1'
            except UnicodeDecodeError:
                raise
    #output_string = input_string_unicode.encode(encoding)
    write_to_xml(input_string_unicode, encoding)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    input_string = raw_input()
    convert_string(input_string)


Output
---------

[root] python i18n_test.py
?test
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Latin-1"?>
<root>
 <output_string>
  ?test
 </output_string>
</root>

But the file content is as below.

<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="Latin-1"?><root><output_string><C9>test</output_string></root>

Hi,

> How the internationalization works in Python 2.6.

Internationalization is different topic. Here you are dealing with
character encoding.


You are actually on right track except this line:

>      write_to_xml(input_string_unicode, encoding)

change it to

       write_to_xml(input_string_unicode, 'utf-8')

Basically once you have already converted the string to unicode
you should just write the output as unicode and utf8 is generally
more acceptable encoding.

Instead of guessing the encoding like you're doing, you should use a
library like https://pypi.python.org/pypi/chardet

Once the encoding is detected, you will need to change the encoding from
the detected encoding to utf-8.

Hi Vivek,

Thanks for the reply.

Yes I tried the same earlier itself. In that case problem is the input
string decode with one encoding format and when it encode into a byte
string using utf-8
the resulting string is not matching with the input string. Without
specifying the encoding format also, while writing to any file it will take
the default utf-8 encoding I think.

[root] python i18n_test.py
?test
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Latin-1"?>
<root>
 <output_string>
  ?test
 </output_string>
</root>

But the file content is as below.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><root><output_string>?
test</output_string></root>

Actually in the earlier part when we write to xml we got <c9> which was
correct when we look into the ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) international character
set and hexadecimal.
But here we got the hexa <c4> instead. Again for another character which
can not be decoded using utf-8 it is giving the same value ? which is
interesting :)


Apart from encoding what we have to take care in python coding to support
internationalization, any document can be suggested for that.

Thanks
Dileep

I ran some test but I always got correct answer no matter how many times
I encode/decode but we may be trying different things.

Also consider Vijay's response of chardet library.

Internationalization is much more than encoding but python doc for i18n
will get you started. Take a look at : 
http://docs.python.org/2/library/i18n.html
