Subject: [Zope] Using ParsedXML from Python script
I am attempting to extract information from a ParsedXML object using
Python script.
I can't seem to get my mind around exactly how this works. Can anyone
point non trivial examples in Python of maniupulating a ParsedXML
object?
This is from a class that is based on ParsedXML.ParsedXML, caveat: It's
code from an old project that isn't maintained and maybe it was done
suboptimal anyway :-)
def get_Status(self):
doc = self.documentElement
status = doc.getElementsByTagName('Status')[0].getAttribute('Number')
return { 'Status':str(status), 'Schema':'ImageID' }
another one:
def get_photo_count(self):
return self.documentElement.getElementsByTagName('Photo').length
the manage_addXY method of that object has something like this inside:
try:
b = NetSelection(id, file, useNamespaces, contentType)
except expat.error, e:
... do things here
and the class has no explicit __init__ method, so likely we got that
from the ParsedXML.ParsedXML base class.
also there seems to be stuff that adds/changes things in some methods:
if not new_node:
new_node = this_Photo.appendChild(doc.createElement(Network_Description))
or:
def _set_description_on_node ( self, node, Description_Dictionary ):
''' sets the contents of a Dictionary into an XML node '''
for fred in Description_Dictionary.keys():
node.setAttribute( fred, Description_Dictionary[ fred ] )
Is that the kind of thing you were looking for?
Regards,
Sascha

Re: [Zope] Using ParsedXML from Python script
Hi Brian, unless it is mandatory for you to use ParsedXML for your XML needs, you might want to check out Uche Ogbuji's Amara Toolkit ( http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4suite/amara/ ). It provides a much more pythonic way of dealing with XML. Regards, Patrick.
