[XML-sig] Error returned in installing PyXML-0.8.4

[James Kanuch]

Well, that is interesting.  I’m following installation instructions from IBM for a software package with it’s latest release being June 3, 2015, and they are calling specifically for it….

I’ll see about the other packages you list and check with them to see if they can work.

Thanks a bunch for the quick response!

Hey Jay

PyXML is bitrotten and obsolete. You'll find the functionality it previously provided is now included in the Python standard library;

https://docs.python.org/library/xml.html

There are also more robust XML packages available to install;
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/lxml
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/NodeTree

lxml is more mature, nodetree (my own) is faster but still a bit young.

Hi, hoping if you can help me with this…. I’m trying to instal PyXML-0.8.4, and when I execute the install python setup.py install command, as it is performing the install it is returning what appear to be 2 syntax errors:

byte-compiling /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedAbsoluteLocationPath.py to ParsedAbbreviatedAbsoluteLocationPath.pyc
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedAbsoluteLocationPath.py", line 27
    as = ParsedAxisSpecifier.ParsedAxisSpecifier('descendant-or-self')
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

  File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/_xmlplus/xpath/ParsedAbbreviatedRelativeLocationPath.py", line 31
    as = ParsedAxisSpecifier.ParsedAxisSpecifier('descendant-or-self')
     ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The identifying “^” symbols seem to have migrated as I was copy-pasting these into my email; in the received error statement they are aligned with the closing “)” on the “as=ParsedAxis….” line.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
Thanks,
Jay
