Re: Modules for Python writng to XML

[François Painchaud <francois.painchaud(at)sympatico.ca>]

Hi Andre,

Module xml.dom.minidom does a fine job.
For example, to parse and save back an XML file:

    import xml.dom.minidom
   
    oSceneTOCDoc = xml.dom.minidom.parse( sSceneTOCPath )
   
    # Do your XML stuff with oSceneTOCDoc here.
   
    oSceneTOCFile = open( sSceneTOCPath, "w" )
    oSceneTOCDoc.writexml( oSceneTOCFile )
    oSceneTOCFile.close()

For references, see:

Hello Python Gurus out there

I am porting an old script from jscript to python for exporting cluster
data to XML.

There seems to be more than one XML module for Python, so I was
wondering if here were any recommendations which to use.  

If anyone could share an example of it in use, that of course would be
very much appreciated.

Andre
