Hello everyone.
I'm trying to run InkScape in Mac Os X (a vector graphics
application). The prepackaged application runs fine, in general.
However, many of its modules use a python script named inkex.py,
which fails with the message that it requires PyXML.
I tried searching for the solution, but it seems to me the XML
support in Python has changed a bit and perhaps you can help me
understand what the current best solution is.
It seems PyXML is deprecated or no longer maintained according to its
SourceForge page.
I believe Python 2.5 (which is what I'm running on the Mac) has some
of the XML support already built in.
The inkex.py script tries to import the following:
try:
import xml.dom.ext
import xml.dom.minidom
import xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax2
import xml.xpath
except:
sys.exit('The inkex.py module requires PyXML. Please download
the latest version from <http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/>.')
Of these, minidom seems to be present, but the others aren't:
Python 2.5 (r25:51918, Sep 19 2006, 08:49:13)
[GCC 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5341)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import xml.dom.ext
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named ext
>>> import xml.dom.minidom
>>> import xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax2
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named ext.reader.Sax2
>>> import xml.xpath
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named xpath
>>>
Any ideas or pointers will be very much appreciated
Juan C.
