[lxml-dev] Feature request / patch: Copy a node
by Florian Wagner July 1, 2005

July 1, 2005

I do have to make copies of nodes in an application I'm writing, so I've tried making a patch for lxml to allow me to do that. The patch is attached, but since I don't have experience with Pyrex and libxml2 there could well be something wrong with it. It seems to work, though. Also I don't know if creating a new document / _ElementTree for the new nodes is the right thing to do, but I suppose it should be...

[lxml-dev] Validating xml files against a DTD
by Jeff_Gayle＠sil.org June 15, 2005

June 15, 2005

I have a dumb question. This is my first experience with libxml2 and lxml and I was wonder how to validate an xml file given a DTD either on the internet or in a catalog (whatever that is). I have read the api.txt file and it has a nice example on how to do this with a RelaxNG file but it does not show an example of how to validate against a DTD. Is it enough to have the declaration in the top of xml file and the parser will automatically validated it? If that is the case, I would think you would want to turn the validation off in certain cases. I briefly looked at the etree.c file but given that I've not done any wrapping of 'C' code, it's kind of hard to figure out the api. ...jeff

[lxml-dev] 0.6 on Tiger
by Florent Guillaume June 2, 2005

June 2, 2005

Just a success report: lxml 0.6 compiles (and tests) OK on Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.1), using the stock versions of libxml2 and libxslt: $ otool -L /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/lxml/etree.so /usr/local/lib/python2.3/site-packages/lxml/etree.so: /usr/lib/libxml2.2.dylib (compatibility version 9.0.0, current version 9.16.0) /usr/lib/libxslt.1.dylib (compatibility version 3.0.0, current version 3.11.0) /usr/lib/libSystem.B.dylib (compatibility version 1.0.0, current version 88.0.0) $ xsltproc --version Using libxml 20616, libxslt 10111 and libexslt 809 xsltproc was compiled against libxml 20616, libxslt 10111 and libexslt 809 libxslt 10111 was compiled against libxml 20616 libexslt 809 was compiled against libxml 20616 Note that libxslt is 1.1.11, not the recommended 1.1.12 in INSTALL.txt. Should I expect problems ? Florent -- Florent Guillaume, Nuxeo (Paris, France) CTO, Director of R&D +33 1 40 33 71 59 http://nuxeo.com fg(a)nuxeo.com

[lxml-dev] ElementTree.write implementation
by Emil Kroymann May 26, 2005

May 26, 2005

Hello, I just discovered lxml last week and I must say it definitely fills a gap as I am pretty fed up with the complexity of the libxml2 Python bindings. I think I will lxml for my xml work. I played around a bit with the ElementTree.write method. I think it contains a bug: It does not respect the encoding parameter given. Output is always us-ascii encoded. Charakters missing from us-ascii are replaced by unicode charakter entities. I looked up the implementation of ElementTree.write in the lxml source and I think I found the problem. It is that, the xmlDocDumpMemory function is used to serialize the tree. This function does not do any encoding conversion. The output of this function is then encoded using the Python-library encoding functions. But this has no effect, as the output of xmlDocDumpMemory is in us-ascii encoding. I think a solution to this would be to use a libxml2 xmlOutputBuffer and the xmlSaveToEnc function to implement the ElementTree.write function. I am willing to supply a patch to this, if there are no concerns which I didn't think of. Thanks a lot, Emil

[lxml-dev] Building 0.6 on Windows
by Fredrik Lundh May 26, 2005

May 26, 2005

I just tried building the 0.6 release on Windows, using the Win32 libxml distribution from: http://www.zlatkovic.com/libxml.en.html Fixing the setup file was pretty trivial, the behaviour when Pyrex wasn't installed was a bit surprising (but easy to fix), but I've now stumbled upon a more annoying problem -- the output from Pyrex doesn't include any "include" statements for libxml and libxslt, so building doesn't work that well. cd lxml-0.6/src/lxml/ grep -n include *.c NUL etree.c:3:#include "Python.h" etree.c:4:#include "structmember.h" etree.c:14272:#include "compile.h" etree.c:14273:#include "frameobject.h" etree.c:14274:#include "traceback.h" Has anyone seen this before? Are there any more includes in the sources on a successful build? Should the C sources perhaps be included in the source distribution, so you can build without Pyrex if you don't plan to hack on the code? </F>

[lxml-dev] XInclude support

Hi there, I've enabled simple XInclude support. If you call the new .xinclude() method on a document, it will proceed with XInclude processing. If people are interested to test this, let me know how it works out. Regards, Martijn

Hi all, I have installed lxml properly but there is some problem when I try to import etree from lxml module; importing lxml in python prompt works. Below is the full traceback.

Sorry I could not notice the errors I am getting while installing lxml. Though I am getting errors, it has copied lxml module into python-> site-packages. When I try to reinstall the same I could notice this error. Is this error because of older version of lixml and libxslt? Note : I have installed Pyregx-0.9.3 which is required for lxml.

[lxml-dev] Bug report: double free or corruption

May 19, 2005

Executing the following script results in an error with lxml-0.6: from lxml.etree import Element,dump,parse root = Element('root') add = parse('test.xml') root.append(add.getroot()) dump(root) The "test.xml" file contains only one tag. The output of dump prints the expected xml, but after that the following error occures: *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (out): 0x080b885b *** Aborted Regards, Florian
