Any Python XML Data Binding Utilities Avaiable?

Hi, every one, happy new year!

I am working on XML with Python. I wonder if there is any XML Schema<->
Python Object mapping tools so that we can convert one to another.
Thanks.

Hi,

I have heard about and played with pyRXP (from reportlab.org) that
parses XML to pythonic objects. If you want a validating parser pyRXPu
(Unicode pyRXP, part of same distro) is recommended on xml forums.

There is another parser by 4suite.org. Never tried it.

Also check out
1. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo...Python?kwd=XML for Python
XML recipes
2. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/149368 - for
an XML to Object recipe.
3. http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Coo.../Recipe/298721 - an
update to the above recipe by some other pythonista.

Item #2 above did not handle multiple occurances of elements well (or
may be it was me!), for example for multiple accounts in a download XML
config file I created, only got one account instance instead of 3.
Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Sounds like generateDS is closest to what you want:

If you can bind from instances only and don't need schema, see Amara
Bindery:

Also consider Gnosis Utilities and ElementTree.

I think everyone who used Python will agree that its syntax is the best thing going for it. It is very readable and easy for everyone to learn.

How does Ruby compare to Python?? How good is DESIGN of Ruby compared to Python? Python's design is godly. I'm wondering if Ruby's is godly too. I've heard it has solid OOP design but then I've also heard there are lots of weird ways to do some things kinda like Perl which is bad for me. Any other ideas?

Hi Everyone, I am a beginner on cross language development. My problem at hand is to build a python interface for a C++ application built on top of a 3D game engine. The purpose of this python interface is providing a convenient scripting toolkit for the application. One example is that a user can write a python script like: player = Player() game.loadPlayer(player) player.moveTo(location)

Just wondering on what peoples opinions are of the GUIs avaiable for Python? All I am doing is prompting users for some data (listbox, radio buttons, text box, ect...). Then I will have some text output, maybe a scrolling text message as things are happening. I have some minor things I need to do, for example, if Checkbutton X is clicked, I need to disable TextBox Y, and I would like to display the scrolling text (output)

Hi everyone, I'm a big Python fan who used to be involved semi regularly in comp.lang.python (lots of lurking, occasional posting) but kind of trailed off a bit.
