XML Writer in wxPython

[Marco Meoni]

Have you ever write an XML Writer in wxPython? A Writer that from a GUI
can compose XML Files.
Thanks.
Marco.

I'm building a GUI of a network manager that send its commands in xml files.
I would can write xml files from GUI (that is in wxPython). Have you
understand from my "spaghetti" english?

Yes, your English is fine. Much better than my Italian!

Sounds like you could use the xml.dom.minidom module
(http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-xml.dom.minidom.html).
On that page they have information for creating new XML documents.

XML is usually pretty easy to write by hand, just using print statements.
Do you alreday have a tree of objects you want to write?

Could you post an example please?
Thanks!

Not really; it depends on what it is you're writing.


def PrintAddress( last, first, address, city, state, zip ):
print " <address>"
print " <lastname>%s</lastname>" % last
print " <firstname>%s</firstname>" % first
print " <address1>%s</address1>" % address
print " <city>%s</city>" % city
print " <state>%s</state>" % state
print " <zip>%s</zip>" % zip
print " </address>"

print "<addresses>"
for row in addressDatabase:
PrintAddress( row.last, row.first,
row.address, row.city, row.state, row.zip )
print "</addresses>"


You can see how an HTML templating aid could help here.

writing funcion?
