Alex,
Thanks for the nudge on this.
By "anonymous complex type", I assume you mean something like the
following:
<xs:element name="myelement">
<xs:complexType>
...
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
Since generateds needs to generate a class for each complex type, it
assigns names to the ones that lack them (basically the ones not at
top level). That is done in `process_includes.py`. Look at the
function `raise_anon_complextypes` in that file. That function
works on the element tree created by Lxml; it raises the
`complexType` element to top level (immediately under the root) and
gives it a name. The line:
type_name = '%sType' % (name, )
creates the name (initially), and then the function `unique_name`
attempts to ensure that it is unique.
I suppose that could be parameterized, with yet another command line
option. Do you think that is worth the effort? Why do you need to
control it?
Dave
