[PythonCE] xml processing on PDA

[Ajay]

hi!

one more try - has anyone done this before? I am really struggling here.

Since pythonce does not include pyexpat and the pyexpat in PyXML's version
seems broken, i am faced with 2 choices - use python only parser such as
pxdom (this however totally kills the efficiency) or write the xml part in
visual c++ using msxml.

I tried a python only parser, pxdom and i didn't have a result at the end
of 10 minutes.

for the past 2 hrs i have been trying to go the msxml way. i was very
encouraged by my ability to write a few simple dll's earlier today and
successfully call them from python. But MSXML seems an entirely different
challenge. there is some excellent code here
http://www.codeproject.com/soap/ce_xml.asp about doing some XML stuff for
PDA using evc. It compiles and builds fine, trouble is the moment you add
the Python wrappers and include Python.h, the code doesn't compile
anymore.

errors:

I think these have something to do with setting the "include" paths to
<pythonroot>/include but can't be sure.

so once again, has anyone done xml stuff on a pda and used that with
Python.

thanks

cheers
