Producing valid xml with the current parser/formatter infrastructure using Python stdlib is *definitely* not easy. That's why my extensions require Amara, because I want it to be easy ;) And I am not willing to presume that Amara would be made a prerequisite for XML output, so my plan is to share a third-party plug-in that folks can deploy if they don't mind also installing Amara. http://wiki.xml3k.org/Amara2 > but I'm not sure how I register the statement "please use this > > formatter instance for requests with mimetype=text/xml". > > It is the module name of the formatter. > > mimetype text/xml -> module text_xml > A ha!

Part of the problem is that in my opinion Python's built-ins for XML are awful. Note: others have very strong, differing opinions from mine about what makes a good XML library ;) XML seems to perpetuate such controversies. -- Uche Ogbuji http://uche.ogbuji.net Weblog: http://copia.ogbuji.net Founding Partner, Zepheira http://zepheira.com Linked-in: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ucheogbuji Articles: http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/publications/ Poetry ed @TNB: http://www.thenervousbreakdown.com/uogbuji/ Friendfeed: http://friendfeed.com/uche Twitter: http://twitter.com/uogbuji http://www.google.com/profiles/uche.ogbuji
