Requirements

• python 3.4

• lxml 3.4.4

Install

Usage

Transforms a python structure to an xml element with lxml :

from element_maker.utils import XMLElement

structure = {'ArchiveTransferRequest':
                      [
                          [
                              {'Comment': [
                                  ['baz'], {"foo": "bar"}
                              ]
                              },
                              {'Date': [
                                  ["2014-05-12T00:00:00Z"]
                              ]
                              }
                          ],
                          {"cars": "pizza"}
                      ]
                      }
namespace = "fr:gouv:culture:archivesdefrance:seda:v1.0"
xml_element = XMLElement(namespace=self.namespace, **self.structure)()
# Test the element with an xsd schema
result = xml_element.pass_xsd("./tests/data/test.xsd")
# Or test the element with an rng schema
result2 = xml_element.pass_rng("./tests/data/test.rng")

The result is an xml :

<ArchiveTransferRequest xmlns="fr:gouv:culture:archivesdefrance:seda:v1.0" cars="pizza">
    <Comment foo="bar">baz</Comment>
    <Date>2014-05-12T00:00:00Z</Date>
</ArchiveTransferRequest>
