Yep, working code is on pypi: http://www.python.org/pypi/xmlmodel
nice /me goes to poke around.
some comments
------------
where does this comes from?
from meta import TrackableTrackerMeta
its failing in after easy_install
>>> import xmlmodel
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\xmlmodel\__init__.py", line 1, in ?
File "build\bdist.win32\egg\xmlmodel\main.py", line 4, in ?
ImportError: No module named meta
and I have never heard of that module
-------------
I notice your using DictObj from
http://trac.turbogears.org/turbogears/ticket/779
I think it could be replace with Bunch, as TG did
one thing that let me wondering is where does _order comes from in XMLNode
-------------
I really love your generators for the XML very nice implementation
------------
Now this will be funny even without getting it to compile I did an elementTree layout so as Linus ones said about a kernel
If it works you should be double impress :)
I added 2 methods to XMLModel which mimic what your toXML do, but since it's objects not a string I just made the recursive call there, since I couldn't run it I'm not sure I got the correct value for v
