I've looked into the details a bit further, and either there's a bug lurking
here, or i'm really not getting it.
In the Python bindings, it looks like the right invocation should be:
>>> rdfalse = RDF.Node(literal="false",
datatype=RDF.Uri("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#boolean";))
(because the argument to datatype has to have a _reduri property).
As evidenced below, this raises the "Node construction failed" error, because
the call to
self._node=Redland.librdf_new_node_from_typed_literal(_world._world,
args['literal'], xml_language, datatype._reduri)
returns None. That's as far as i'm able to penetrate, though, since i'm using
the binaries from http://download.librdf.org/binaries/win32/1.0.3/ (which looks
a couple of revs behind, but i don't have the proper kit to build more current
windows binaries: if somebody knows of one, please let me know and i'll give it
a try).
This example from the documentation similarly fails:
node5=RDF.Node(literal="<tag>content</tag>", is_wf_xml=1)
which makes me think there's something wrong with the binaries.
Can anybody shed some light on this? Do these forms work for others using
Python?
Sean
