Running Python 2.4.2 on Windows in SPE. I have a very small XML file
(see below) that is in UTF-8 and saved by Windows Notepad as such. I'm
reading it with minidom.
My problem is that once I parse the file with minidom and a field from
it to another variable as shown with this line:
IPAddr = self.SocketSettingsObj.IPAddress
I get this error:
File "<string>", line 1, in connect
TypeError: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, instance found
This is the section of code that reads the XML file:
ConfigDom = parse(TestSettingsStore.ConfigFileName)
#ConfigDom
TSSElList =
ConfigDom.getElementsByTagName("TargetSocketSettings")
NumTargSocks = len(TSSElList)
if NumTargSocks > 0:
TargetIPAddrList =
TSSElList[0].getElementsByTagName("TargetIPAddr")
TargetIPPortList =
TSSElList[0].getElementsByTagName("TargetIPPort")
AddrListLen = len(TargetIPAddrList)
PortListLen = len(TargetIPPortList)
if AddrListLen > 0 and PortListLen > 0:
if TargetIPAddrList[0] <> "" and TargetIPPortList[0] <>
0:
StillNeedSettings = False
TestSettingsStore.SettingsDictionary['TargetIPAddr'] =
TargetIPAddrList[0]
TestSettingsStore.SettingsDictionary['TargetIPPort'] =
TargetIPPortList[0]
This I saved as Unicode from Notepad with encoding UTF-16:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?>
<TargetSocketSettings>
<TargetIPAddr>127.0.0.1</TargetIPAddr>
<TargetIPPort>43210</TargetIPPort>
</TargetSocketSettings>
this I saved as UTF-8 from Notepad with encoding UTF-8:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-16" ?>
<TargetSocketSettings>
<TargetIPAddr>127.0.0.1</TargetIPAddr>
<TargetIPPort>43210</TargetIPPort>
</TargetSocketSettings>
Both formats create the same error.
I'm probably doing something dumb as I've never done XML in Python
before. Any ideas what?
