Re: [BangPypers] Access xml file form python script
Hi Avinash, There is simple python library for parsing the XML file, accessing data, adding, editing. It is LXML. You can refer its documentation at: http://codespeak.net/lxml/.

Re: [BangPypers] Access xml file form python script
lxml also can be used along with the elementtree. Personally I liked the element tree APIs and elegance.

Hi Avinash, Expat module can be used to fetch the elements out of the XML document. Hope that helps. - Sujit On Sun, Oct 31, 2010 at 6:47 PM, Noufal Ibrahim nou...@gmail.com wrote: On Sun, Oct 31 2010, Avinash TM wrote: Hi All, I have created a simple xml document i.e., preferences.xml as follows ?xml version=1.0? object object name=category value=cricket property name=titleCricket/property property name=subscribers element name=avinash/ element name=prashant/ /property /object /object [...] The elementree module can help you parse this.
