editing XML via DOM

[jaco]

Hi,

I'm new to Python and XML but still I want to create something that
includes creating and editing XML using Python.

Now I'm looking for a little example program that does (some of) this to
set me on my way.

Is there something like this available or can somebody give me some
example lines that creates and saves some XML data?

Cheers,
Jaco

I use a really forgiving XML library called 'microdom' that resides in
the twisted library. I won't give an example of that - but I do
recommend it if you have a situation where you need to parse crappy
xml.

A quick google comes up with:

http://www.acooke.org/andrew/writing/python-xml.html
which shows how to use xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax.FromXmlFile and then
doing some stuff with createElement, appendChild and
getElementsByTagName.

Start with:

http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/11/13/py-xml.html

then see:

http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/10/15/py-xml.html

Overall, there is a lot on DOM throughout the series:
