Parsing XML file with Minidom has problem with cr/lf

I am parsing an XML file with Python 2.6.5 minidom in Windows and it is mostly working but minidom seems to have problems dealing with Windows cr/lf characters. It creates an extra textnode that needs to be ignored instead of just returning the xml elements. I have tried different methods of opening the file but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. It is happiest when reading a file in Unix format.

parsing XML with minidom


Hello. I've only done a litte bit of parsing with minidom before but I'm
having trouble getting my values out of this xml. I need the latitude and
longitude values in bold. I've tried several things. I think that I am
getting into the location tag but maybe the getAttribute function is not
correct for this example?

<GeocodeResponse>
 <status>OK</status>
 <result>
  <type>street_address</type>
  <formatted_address>50 Oakland St, Wellesley, MA 02481,
USA</formatted_address>

   <long_name>50</long_name>
   <short_name>50</short_name>
   <type>street_number</type>

     <lng>-71.2602524</lng>
    </northeast>
   </viewport>
  </geometry>
 </result>
</GeocodeResponse>

Code:

body = dom.getElementsByTagName('GeocodeResponse')[0]

for item in body.getElementsByTagName('location'):
     lat = item.getAttribute('lat')
     lng = item.getAttribute('lng')

Tags

Hi,
      Does XBEL supports TAGS attribute?
I see that in the <bookmark> element , "TAG" does not exist as an attribute.

If it's not there, can we define our own custom attribute to support tags?

Thanks,
Rachel

Python DTD parser?

Dear XML-SIG,

I am trying to find a working, maintained DTD parser written in Python.  The
main Python XML distribution does not include one.  I was using the PyXML
parser, but (1) (at least on SourceForge) it hasn't been maintained for
years, and (2) (as of the last version I could find, 0.8.4) it has a bug
that sometimes causes it to not process the very last line of a DTD -- which
in a well-modularized DTD is often an entity reference that pulls in the
main content of the DTD!

I've written my own DTD parser, but it omits some features, I really don't
know how well it conforms to the spec (which is important because I'm also
writing some DTDs of my own), and I'd much rather use a well-tested one
written by others.

Any advice will be appreciated.

		Sincerely,

						L Peter Deutsch

Can't Import libxml2

I am trying to compile a program, gnome-doc-utils and its producing an error saying it can't import libxml2:

ImportError: No module named libxml2

I have installed the following Python module, so I don't know why it can't find it.

PyXML-0.8.4

PyXML seems to be fairly old and is says it is no long maintained. Is there a replacement? Thanks.

No, you don't. According to the relevant bug reports in he Ubuntu bug 
tracker, the OpenERP package has recently been fixed to work without PyXML, 
so use a recent release instead.

Oh, and please keep discussions on-list and avoid top-posting.

Yes. That's pretty easy, though. They should be readily packaged for your
platform (Linux), so you can just install them like any other software
package. Look out for "python-html5lib" or "python-lxml".
