Well, this discussion may be more relevant to the Python XML SIG:
http://www.python.org/community/sigs/current/xml-sig/
You may also want to take a look Stan, which allows you to generate
XHTML quite cleanly in Python. Just a little more magic and it's just
as easy to create arbitrary XML:
from nevow import stan, flat
import datetime
class TagFactory(object):
def __getattr__(self, name):
return stan.Tag(name)
T = TagFactory()
db = [
dict(name='person1', age=10, birthday=datetime.date(1996, 1, 1)),
dict(name='person2', age=15, birthday=datetime.date(1991, 5, 21))
]
person_doc = T.people [[
T.person [
T.name [ rec.get('name') ],
T.age [ rec.get('age') ],
T.birthday [ rec.get('birthday').strftime('%x') ]
] for rec in db
]]
print flat.flatten(person_doc)
