effbot ElementTree question

Hi,

Is anyone here familiar with ElementTree by effbot?

With <html><body>hel lo</body></html> how is "hello" stored in the
element tree? Which node is it under? Similarly, with:
foo <a href = "blah"> blah </a> bar, how is bar stored? Which node is
it in?

Cheers,
Ming

reposting the reply I just posted to the discussion board where you
asked the same question:

in the body case, the "hello" text ends up in the 'text' attribute of the "body"
node (in HTML/CSS terminology, this is known as an "anonymous block").

in the other case, the trailing text is stored in the 'tail' attribute of the
preceeding element ("a" in this case); see:

http://effbot.org/zone/element-infos...#mixed-content

for details on how ElementTree deals with mixed content.

Hello All, So I have been using Effbot's XML stuff a lot! And I have been using py2exe, pygame and wxPython all mixed together...

What this does is leave the file hanging open...

I am trying to write some python code for a library that reads an XML-like language from a file into elementtree data structures. Then I want to be able to read and/or modify the structure and then be able to write it out either as XML or in the original format. I really want the api for the XML-like language to be the same as the elementtree api to reduce confusion, ease of learning etc. In reading the elementtree documentation I found...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
