ll-xist Extensible HTML/XML generator XIST is an extensible HTML and XML generator. XIST is also a XML parser with a very simple and pythonesque tree API. Every XML element type corresponds to a Python class and these Python classes provide a conversion method to transform the XML tree (e.g. into HTML). XIST can be considered 'object oriented XSLT'. XIST also includes the following modules: * ``ll.astyle`` can be used for colored terminal output (via ANSI escape sequences). * ``ll.color`` provides classes and functions for handling RGB color values. This includes the ability to convert between different color models (RGB, HSV, HLS) as well as to and from CSS format, and several functions for modifying and mixing colors. * ``ll.make`` is an object oriented make replacement. Like make it allows you to specify dependencies between files and actions to be executed when files don't exist or are out of date with respect to one of their sources. But unlike make you can do this in a object oriented way and targets are not only limited to files, but you can implement e.g. dependencies on database records. * ``ll.misc`` provides several small utility functions and classes. * ``ll.sisyphus`` provides classes for running Python scripts as cron jobs. * ``ll.daemon`` can be used on UNIX to fork a daemon process. * ``ll.url`` provides classes for parsing and constructing RFC 2396 compliant URLs. * ``ll.xpit`` is a module that makes it possible to embed Python expressions in text (as XML style processing instructions). * ``ll.xml_codec`` contains a complete codec for encoding and decoding XML. Changes in 3.2.3 (released 03/04/2008) -------------------------------------- * ``cssutils`` 0.9.5 is used now. This simplifies the implementation of ``css.selector``. * A function ``ll.xist.css.geturls`` has been added. This returns a list of all the URLs in a ``cssutils`` stylesheet. * ``toxic.xml2ora`` now treats unknown processing instructions as text. This makes it possible to e.g. output an XML header via toxic. * The pseudo-elements in ``ll.xist.ns.jsp`` are no longer in a namespace, so they will always be published without any prefixes. http://www.livinglogic.de/Python/Download.html#xist Walter Doerwald a28d96aa4d25bea249f7de506d34650c80ed4e6d 3.2.3
