reading an xml file

46
Hi Guys,

Can anyone give me a good place to start about learning to read xml files with Python?

I have a bunch of XML files i'd like to go through and change some variables in.

If there is a nice python GUI app to do this I'd be really interested in checking it out.

Thanks for any help!

Hey, Adam... Searching Google for "python xml parser" and "python xml parser GUI" turned up so many sites and tutorials that I would know where to begin a recommendation. However, this link lead me, indirectly, to PyXML on SourceForge. I hope that speeds your searches somewhat.

All the pieces to my projects come from SourceForge. It's a truly great resource.
