Re.: reading xml from python - Sum-up

[Hvidberg, Martin]

Thanks to all - Just to give a positive feed back.
The following solution works for me:


from xml.etree.ElementTree import ElementTree

tree = ElementTree()

tree.parse('inifile.xml')

dicIni = dict((child.tag, child.text) for child in tree.getroot().getchildren())

Subject: reading xml from python

I'm looking for at way to read (and later write) small simple .xml file from Python.

e.g. I would like to read the following from a small ini.xml file into a dictionary.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<initialisation>
 <idrectory>default</idrectory>
 <nosplit>False</nosplit>
 <nobatch>False</nobatch>
 <ubmmode>UBMlight</ubmmode>
 <overwrite_output>True</overwrite_output>
</initialisation>
I would prefer a relative simple (not too much creating new classes) way to do this.

Any suggestions appreciated.

:-) Martin
