XML Writer in wxPython

[Marco Meoni]

Have you ever write an XML Writer in wxPython? A Writer that from a GUI
can compose XML Files.
Thanks.
Marco.

I would can write xml files from GUI (that is in wxPython). Have you
understand from my "spaghetti" english?

Yes, your English is fine. Much better than my Italian! :)

Sounds like you could use the xml.dom.minidom module
(http://www.python.org/doc/current/li....minidom.html).
On that page they have information for creating new XML documents.

XML is usually pretty easy to write by hand, just using print statements.
Do you alreday have a tree of objects you want to write?

Not really; it depends on what it is you're writing.
def PrintAddress( last, first, address, city, state, zip ):
print " <address>"
print " <lastname>%s</lastname>" % last
print " <firstname>%s</firstname>" % first
print " <address1>%s</address1>" % address
print " <city>%s</city>" % city
print " <state>%s</state>" % state
print " <zip>%s</zip>" % zip
print " </address>"

print "<addresses>"
for row in addressDatabase:
PrintAddress( row.last, row.first,
row.address, row.city, row.state, row.zip )
print "</addresses>"
You can see how an HTML templating aid could help here.

Just be sure you're well aware of all the issues:
