ANN: XML builder for Python

[Jonas Galvez]

Not sure if it's been done before, but still...

  from __future__ import with_statement
  from xmlbuilder import builder, element

  xml = builder(version="1.0", encoding="utf-8")
  with xml.feed(xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'):
    xml.title('Example Feed')
    xml.link(None, href='http://example.org/')
    xml.updated('2003-12-13T18:30:02Z')
    with xml.author:
      xml.name('John Doe')
    xml.id('urn:uuid:60a76c80-d399-11d9-b93C-0003939e0af6')
    with xml.entry:
      xml.title('Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok')
      xml.link(None, href='http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03')
      xml.id('urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a')
      xml.updated('2003-12-13T18:30:02Z')
      xml.summary('Some text.')
  print xml

Will produce:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
    <title>Example Feed</title>
    <link href="http://example.org/" />
    <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated>
    <author>
      <name>John Doe</name>
    </author>
    <id>urn:uuid:60a76c80-d399-11d9-b93C-0003939e0af6</id>
    <entry>
      <title>Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok</title>
      <link href="http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03" />
      <id>urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a</id>
      <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated>
      <summary>Some text.</summary>
    </entry>
  </feed>
