Message-ID: <3838df16d107ded211204f4d44fcf2c3@alicewbakker.nl>

Dear python,
  I've downloaded PyXML-0.8.4 to use with Inkscape (I followed the 
instructions in this program) , in order to save a drawing in DXF.

I tried to  install PyXML-0.8.4 on my computer,  but I didn't succeed. 
I don't have acces to the install assistant, or so.
I'm working with MacOs10.3.( panther).
How should the installation be done?

Thanks,
A. Bakker

Subject: [XML-SIG] how to check "grammar" of xml using a schema or DTD with
	elementtree
Message-ID: <833854FC7D53F34593601F4E50BB12806B6668@sanusexch1.atitech.com>

I'm new to XML parsing and am using elementtree to parse a very simple
xml file that is similar to the one below:

 

<groceries>

  <category name="fruit">

    <item name="apple" number="8"/>

    <item name="banana" number="12"/>

  </cagetory>

  <category name="frozen">

    <item name="icecream" flavor="chocolate" number="1"/>

    <item name="pizza" make="tombstone" type="cheese" number="3"/>

  </category>

</groceries>

 

Basically I am just trying to parse out the values and do something with
them in my program.  I'd like to define what the "correct" syntax for
this file is and have it checked automatically.  For example, in this
simple example I'd like to check that only a single type of subelement
is allowed under <groceries>, namely <category>  And that a only a
single type of sublement is allowed under <cagetory>, namely <item>.
Further, I'd like to check that <item> can have the attributes 'name'
and 'number', but no others.  Etc, etc.

 

Right now I am using elementtree to check this within my program.  IE, I
traverse the tree and make sure the xml meets the specifications.  Based
on my reading, it seems that I can use a DTD or scheme to define the
"grammar" of my xml, but I can't figure out how to actually set this up.
It seems like I should just be able to specify my DTD or Schema and then
call ElementTree's parse method and Elementtre should just give me
errors if the xml doesn't conform to the rules.  Maybe Elementtree just
doesn't support this?  I see some doc that says lxml supports schema's,
will lxml do this for me?

 

What are other folks doing to deal with this?  It seems like such an
obvious need, yet when I google I don't find anything pointing me to a
simple solution.

 

Thanks!

 

Margie

basic ET only does well-formedness checks; lxml comes with validation support
for DTD:s, schemas, and Relax NG.

well, I'm using separate validations tools as part of the test suite, and I'm then
assuming that my code doesn't actually mess itself up when running...

Thanks for your response.  Are the validations tools you use freely
available or are these things that you've written?  A separate
validation tool would also work fine for me.

Summary: Fails to print ampersand

Initial Comment:
I can't figure out how to print a ampersand in a text node. This is probably not a bug but a feature but it has been giving me a headeach.

### BEGIN CODE ###
Running the following program:

from xml.dom.minidom import *
from xml.dom.ext import *

doc = Document()
n = doc.createElement("aroot")
tn = doc.createTextNode("&nbsp;")
n.appendChild(tn)
doc.appendChild(n)

PrettyPrint(doc)

### END CODE ###

I want the output to be
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<aroot>&nbsp;</aroot>

but the actual output is:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<aroot>&amp;nbsp;</aroot>

i.e. the & has been replaced by &amp; which is not what I want.

Hi,

currently the PyXML-packages are only available through sf download. Is
there any chance to include direct download links in pypi? Otherwise
PyXML is not available for easy_install consumption.

Thanks in advance,
Christian

PS: I'd be willing to help if there are any problems with resouces,
labour, whatever to get this done.

      http://www.lucasmanual.com/mywiki/


Would you know of similar easy howto for using xpath(element reference), 
and  another one for traversing xml docs?

thx
Lucas


      Create and add elements

from xml.dom.minidom import parseString

    *

      creating new document, and root element at the same time.

doc = parseString(u'<top/>'.encode('UTF-8'))

    *

      print doc.toprettyxml() will show you how it looks

    *

      this would create:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<top/>

    *

      Now we reference to our <top/> element by:

top_element=doc.documentElement

    *

      We create another element by:

element1=doc.createElementNS(None,u'section1')

    *

      Add it under our top element by:

top_element.appendChild(element1)

    *

      Create another element and add it under element1

element1.appendChild(doc.createElementNS(None,u'subsection1'))

    *

      How to create a text node:

text1=doc.createTextNode(u'My first text')

    *

      Since we have no reference to subsection1. We start at reference
      to element1

element1.firstChild.appendChild(text1)

    *

      add second subelement:

element1.appendChild(doc.createElementNS(None,u'subsection2'))

    *

      create next text element, and add it to subsection2

text2=doc.createTextNode(u'My second text')
element1.lastChild.appendChild(text2)

    *

      We are working with references. To switch text in subsections, you
      could do:

element1.firstChild.appendChild(text2)
element1.lastChild.appendChild(text1)

To validate against Relax NG schemas, there are at least two free
programs (the implementation of RelaxNG in 4suite is very limited, I
suggest not using it):

Hello,

 

I want to install the XML package v0.8.3 on my station. I want to install it in an other directory of the previous python folder.

In the setup.py -help-commands I have not found the command which allow to change the installation folder, like for some other scripts I make "-prefix=/home/toto".

 

Thanks for help

It should install relative to the python interpret you use to run setup.py.

For example, instead of 'setup.py install',
do '/path/to/your/python setup.py install'

Is that sufficient?

Also, why 0.8.3 and not 0.8.4?
