xpath support in python 2.4

Hi,
I would like to use xpath modules in python2.4.... In my local machine
I am running python2.3.5 and on the server I run python2.4. I have seen
that while on my computer i am able to import xml.xpath, on the server
the module seems to not exist. Is it still part of the standard
library? if not, what should I use?

Thank you in advance,
Andrea Fiore

sounds like you've installed

http://pyxml.sourceforge.net/

on one of your machines, but not on the other.

(afaik, xml.xpath has never been part of the standard library.)

a couple disconnected observations:

- for install questions, you need to specify O/S, how you installed
python, maybe something about RAM/CPU if performance constraints

- check the blogalog about Xpath earlier this year:

No, it's not. Not sure if it ever was.

Install PyXML

It never was.

Just a guess. No STFWing was done before posting this message. ;-)

I refined my attempt a little further, and the following code does seem to work, however it has 2 major problems: 1. Very limited support for XPath features Basic paths are supported for elements, attributes, ".", and "..", plus also the "" predicate format is supported - however, only one predicate per path step is supported, and expr must be a relative path. 2. Poor performance

Hi! I need to generate source code (mainly Java) from a domain specific XML language, preferably from within a Python environment (since that's where the XML is generated). I tried using XSLT, but I found that I need a template system that supports Python interaction. I know, lxml's XSLT support is /somewhat/ getting there, but even with that, XSLT is so clumsy when it comes to code generation (looping constructs and if/else above...

Hi; We have a TreeView that represents an xml file (or it's schema is a more accurate statement). We want to have a double click on a node in the tree generate the XPath to get to that node. For the full tree it's easy. We walk up the parents getting the name of each node and put a / between each so we end up with /node1/node2 or node1/node2/@attr1

Hi. Got a test web page, that basically has two "<html" tags in it. Examining the page via Firefox/Dom Inspector, I can create a test xpath query "/html/body/form" which gets the target form for the test. The issue comes when I examine the page's source html. It looks like: <html> <body> </body>
