Python <--> XML data binding.

[Werner Fouche]

Paul,

I should have mentioned that Breeze reads the extended DTD specification
called DT4DTDs developed by Extensibility -- their XML Authority Editor
can convert many XML schema language dialects to DT4DTDs. DT4DTDs
extend standard DTDs with the data types found in W3C XML Schema
language specification.

It would be easy to support DT4DTDs once you can process standard DTDs.
This is ideally what I am looking for since I want to be able to model XML
document types in XML Authority and then generate Python code from the
specification. In this way the Python code and the XML document definition
can easily be kept in sync.

The biggest benefit of a tool such as what you are developing would be to
quickly and reliable translate industry standard XML document specifications
(say OFX 2.0) to crisp Python code! I am looking forward to the fruits of
your current endevour.

Regards,

Werner
