Rodrigo - Thanks for this fix. I've added it. It will be in the next version that I upload. > > But after hacking around I couldn't find a fix for issue 1. Maybe I'm > doing something wrong, or are these real issues? The code generated by generateDS.py, specifically the parse() function, is looking at the top level (outer-most) element in the instance doc and trying to determine the tag and the element type. When the tag and element type (name) are different, it does not have the information that it needs to get this right. So, two comments: 1. I'll look into it. Your sample code will be very helpful with this. 2. You might want to consider writing your own parse() function. In your application, you are the one who knows what the top level tag and element type is. Consider putting your parse function and application specific code in a separate module (your application) and, in that module, import the generated classes. > > Thanks for the awesome work on this library. It is very useful. :) Great. I'm glad it helped. And, thanks for the compliment. Again, thanks for the feed-back and the fix.
