[Chicago] xml to py object

[Kevin Boers]

I like lxml.objectify quite a bit. It does exactly what you're looking for:

Chapter 12 of the Python Cookbook has something that might work for you. It's available through google book search:

I've used the recipe once or twice, and it's easy enough to modify for your specific needs.

Hello,
I'm trying to convert an xml to python like object where:

      <ClientApp>
            <Org>my company</Org>
             <Name>Full name of the comapny</Name>
            <Version>1.02 (4.02)</Version>
        </ClientApp>

would correspond to

class someobject(object):........

and would be accessible via something like:

print x.ClientApp.Org <http://x.ClientApp.Org>
print x.ClientApp.Name <http://x.ClientApp.Name>
print x.ClientApp.Version

Not sure how things like this would be implemented:

  <Vehicle id="Veh_1" LocationRef="Location_1" DriverRef="Driver_1"/>

Is there a module/library that is able convert the xml into something like this?

Thanks,
Lucas
