gocept.lxml Primarily proivdes zope3 interface definitions for lxml ============================== Interface Definitions For lxml ============================== This package provides zope interfaces for lxml objects. Far from being complete but a starting point. Interfaces ========== Interfaces are here: >>> import gocept.lxml.interfaces There is an interface for lxml.etree elements: >>> import lxml.etree >>> xml = lxml.etree.fromstring('<a/>') >>> gocept.lxml.interfaces.IElement.providedBy(xml) True And for objectifieds: >>> import lxml.objectify >>> obj = lxml.objectify.fromstring('<a><str>holla</str></a>') >>> gocept.lxml.interfaces.IElement.providedBy(obj) True >>> gocept.lxml.interfaces.IObjectified.providedBy(obj) True >>> gocept.lxml.interfaces.IElement.providedBy(obj.str) True >>> gocept.lxml.interfaces.IObjectified.providedBy(obj.str) True Objectified parsers =================== There is a helper for creating objectifieds from file handles in `gocept.lxml.objectify`. Open a file: >>> import os.path >>> import gocept.lxml.objectify >>> filename = os.path.join( ... os.path.dirname(__file__), ... 'ftesting.zcml') >>> xml_file = file(filename) And parse it: >>> xml = gocept.lxml.objectify.fromfile(xml_file) >>> xml <Element {http://namespaces.zope.org/zope}configure at ...> This really is objectified: >>> gocept.lxml.interfaces.IObjectified.providedBy(xml) True >>> xml.include.get('package') 'zope.app.component' For convinience `fromstring` is also defined in `gocept.lxml.objectify`: >>> xml = gocept.lxml.objectify.fromstring('<a><b/></a>') >>> xml <Element a at ...> >>> gocept.lxml.interfaces.IObjectified.providedBy(xml) True Changes ======= 0.2.1 (2008-02-14) ++++++++++++++++++ - Lifted dependency on lxml<2.0dev so lxml 2 can be used now.
