There is an experimental repository for generateDS at Bitbucket: https://dkuhl...@bitbucket.org/dkuhlman/generateds
You will need to use Mercurial in order to clone it. It's experimental in the sense that there are features there that are incomplete and even broken. Currently, the new (incomplete) feature implemented in that repository is the ability to convert the tree of objects that are instances of classes generated by generateDS.py (back) into an lxml tree of DOM nodes. Logan Own implemented this feature, and I've helped a little. So, if you think this will be a useful capability, as I do, you will have Logan to thank. You might ask why? What would we use this for? Several reasons that I can think of: (1) lxml enables us to serialize to text; perhaps this will replace the current export capability someday. (2) lxml has support for xpath, enabling you to search for nodes that satisfy a given path or pattern. (3) You can walk the DOM tree or you can use the find() and findall() functions to find nodes. (4) lxml has support for XSL-T. (5) lxml can do validation against an XML Schema. As I said, it's experimental and incomplete. But, it seems to work well enough so that you can give it a try. And, as always, let me know when you find holes in it. In order to try this new feature, you will need to generate your classes with the to_etree support turned on. There is a new command line option that lets you do that. The default value of --export is "write literal", which gives you the export methods that generateDS.py normally produces. Add "etree" to get the new methods. For example: --export="write literal etree" --export="write etree" etc. - Dave -- Dave Kuhlman http://www.rexx.com/~dkuhlman ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Next-Gen Firewall Hardware Offer Buy your Sophos next-gen firewall before the end March 2013 and get the hardware for free!
