Hello Python Community. I'm pleased to announce pyxser-1.4.4r, a python extension which contains functions to serialize and deserialize Python Objects into XML. It is a model based serializer. Here is the ChangeLog entry for this release: ---8<--- 1.4.4r (2010.02.10): Daniel Molina Wegener * src/include/pyxser_collections.h - added set handling function prototypes. Added support for unicode key names, which are converted to the user settings encoding (ie utf-8) inside the XML output. * src/pyxser_serializer.c - removed memory leak. Addded support for unicode object names in dictionary/list types. * src/pyxser_collections.c - added set handling function prototypes. added name property handling algorithm, so non string name properties are not serialized. I shall extend it to other modules. * src/pyxser_tools.c - added set handling prototypes and set type checking function. * test-utf8-leak.py - added serialization of SQL Alchemy objects, so we can test more complex Python objects serialization. * test-utf8-sqlalchemy.py - added sql alchemy object serialization test. * src/pyxser_serializer.c - reduced serialization algorithms, replacing deep nested if statements by flatten ones. * src/pyxser_collections.c - reduced serialization algorithms replacing deep nested if statements by flatten ones. * src/pyxser_typem.c - reduced serialization algorithms, replacing deep nested if statements by flatten ones. Thanks to pyxser users for their feedback. ---8<--- This release contains some bug fixes, mainly related to type checking and type handling. I hope this small extension will help you on your programming tasks.
