Thanks for your reply, Amaury. That page really might mean that it was not
intended for ElementTree to parse such things by default. Although it might be
nice if there was some easy way to simply enable it, instead of having to hack
it into there and depending on details of some internal code (which might
change in the future).
Your code btw. didn't work for me, but based on it and on that effbot page, I
came up with the following solution, which works fine.
test.py
-------
from xml.etree import ElementTree
class CommentedTreeBuilder ( ElementTree.XMLTreeBuilder ):
def __init__ ( self, html = 0, target = None ):
ElementTree.XMLTreeBuilder.__init__( self, html, target )
self._parser.CommentHandler = self.handle_comment
def handle_comment ( self, data ):
self._target.start( ElementTree.Comment, {} )
self._target.data( data )
self._target.end( ElementTree.Comment )
with open( 'test.xml', 'r' ) as f:
xml = ElementTree.parse( f, parser = CommentedTreeBuilder() )
ElementTree.dump( xml )
