Changes in this version, compared to 0.8.3:
* bump version number to 0.8.4, as Python 2.4 requires that as the minimum PyXML version. * Expat 1.95.8 is provided; pyexpat is extended to expose more expat features: - CurrentLineNumber, CurrentColumnNumber, CurrentByteIndex - symbolic error numbers added in Expat 1.95.7 and 1.95.8 * Added Dublin Core Metadata Initiative (DCMI) namespaces to the xml.ns module. * fix memory leaks in pyexpat * fix line number reporting in SAX
The Python/XML distribution contains the basic tools required for processing XML data using the Python programming language, assembled into one easy-to-install package. The distribution includes parsers and standard interfaces such as SAX and DOM, along with various other useful modules.
The package currently contains:
* XML parsers: Pyexpat (Jack Jansen), xmlproc (Lars Marius Garshol), sgmlop (Fredrik Lundh). * SAX interface (Lars Marius Garshol) * minidom DOM implementation (Paul Prescod, others) * 4DOM and 4XPath from Fourthought (Uche Ogbuji, Mike Olson) * Schema implementations: TREX (James Tauber) * Various utility modules and functions (various people) * Documentation and example programs (various people)
The code is being developed bazaar-style by contributors from the Python XML Special Interest Group, so please send comments and questions to xml-sig@python.org. Bug reports may be filed on SourceForge:
