All the export methods use a file-like object that supports a
"write()" method. So, you might copy and modify the parse method
from your generated module, but instead of using sys.stdout, pass
in an instance of StringIO.StringIO. Then, after export, call the
"getvalue()" method on that StringIO object.
The parse functions in the generated code are intended (1) for
testing, (2) as convenience functions, and (3) for samples.
So, I'd suggest that you copy one of them (probably parse()) from
your generated module, paste it in your own module, then modify it,
and import your generated module. Here is a sample:
#------------------------------------------------
import sys
import StringIO
from xml.dom import minidom
import tmp2sup
def parseToVariable(inFileName):
doc = minidom.parse(inFileName)
rootNode = doc.documentElement
rootObj = tmp2sup.content.factory()
rootObj.build(rootNode)
# Enable Python to collect the space used by the DOM.
doc = None
outstream = StringIO.StringIO()
outstream.write('<?xml version="1.0" ?>\n')
rootObj.export(outstream, 0, name_="content")
strcontent = outstream.getvalue()
print strcontent
def main():
args = sys.argv[1:]
if len(args) == 1:
parseToVariable(args[0])
else:
print 'python myprog.py ...'
sys.exit(1)
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
