ANN: pygenx 0.5.2

[Michael Twomey]

pygenx 0.5.2 is now available:

http://software.translucentcode.org/pygenx/pygenx-0.5.2.tar.gz

http://software.translucentcode.org/pygenx/

What is it?
-----------

pygenx is a wrapper for the genx[1] canonical[2] XML generation library.

If you need a simple, fast, way of generating correct XML without 
worrying about escaping characters or character entities then pygenx is 
ideal.

Example
-------

#!/usr/bin/env python

import genx

writer = genx.Writer()
fp = file("greeting.xml", "w")
writer.startDocFile(fp)
writer.startElementLiteral("greeting")
writer.addText("Hello world!")
writer.endElement()
writer.endDocument()

greeting.xml:

<greeting>Hello world!</greeting>


Why the high version number?
----------------------------

In case you are wondering why you never saw a 0.1 - 0.4 release that is 
because I am tracking genx's beta releases (currently beta 5), and also 
because this is the first version of pygenx to build and pass the test 
suite on all platforms I've tested it on (previously an optimisation bug 
in genx was causing it to fail after being built by distutils).
