To allow Python components to handle more than just simple data types,
we need to decide how we present structured data / complex types to
Python components. We'll probably want to support many more data binding
options in the future, but we need one simple solution as a starting point.
For Ruby I have implemented support for Rexml for now mainly because
it's included in the Ruby distribution. What do you guys think we should
use for Python?
- an xml.dom or xml.minidom - from the Python standard library
- an xml.ElementTree - more pythonic and nicer rendering, recent
addition to the Python 2.5 standard library (just released on Sept
19th), available as a separate package on older releases
- a new implementation of a Python transcription of the SDO API?
Here's what I was thinking about:
- step 1, soon - ElementTree
- step 2, longer term - an SDO API
Any thoughts?
