Re: [IronPython] from xml import xpath

Is a better diagnostic message possible?  This would let us distinguish a pyd problem from "playing tricks with paths", and presumably there might be some value in fixing any problems in the latter.

You’re right, I did miss that…  Looking at this page: http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/howto/section-install.html  It would seem that you may be right about the Pyd’s (it at least requires a C compiler, making that likely – and almost guaranteeing it won’t work w/ IronPython).

 

Unfortunately we don’t support PYD’s currently (and aren’t likely to soon) so most likely this won’t currently work. If you absolutely need XPath support in the mean time I’d suggest using .NET’s XMLPath (and if you need to work on both you could make a thin wrapper over either PyXml for CPython and .NET’s XPath support).  For example:

 

import clr

clr.AddReference(‘System.Xml’)

import System.Xml.XPath as XPath

 

xpathDoc = XPath.XPathDocument(‘file://foo.txt’)

 

 

 

Do you want to help develop Dynamic languages on CLR? (http://members.microsoft.com/careers/search/details.aspx?JobID=6D4754DE-11F0-45DF-8B78-DC1B43134038)

Dino, you seemed to have missed the part about pyxml..

It works in cpython with pyxml installed. However, pyxml is playing tricks with paths etc, and there might even be pyd:s involved..

This doesn't work for my in CPython 2.4 either, so I think the docs are wrong:

I'm porting an application that uses PyXML.  The following from the PyXml documentation http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/topics/howto/section-XPath.html doesn't work:

from xml import xpath
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File , line 0, in input##113
ImportError: cannot import xpath from xml

Any suggestions?  I messed around with adding site-packages to IRONPYTHONPATH but other BadThings happened.

Here's the installation:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]
IronPython 1.0.60420 (Beta) on .NET 2.0.50727.42

python 2.4.2
pyxml 0.8.4
pywin32 205
py2exe 0.6.3

IRONPYTHONPATH = c:\python24\lib
