The Python S-201 XML Bindings Package

A python package implementing the XML bindings for the IALA S-201 data product specification.

Introduction

This Python package provides language bindings for the IALA S-201 data product, making it easier for developers to work with S-100 datasets. These bindings allow developers to programmatically interact with S-100-compliant datasets and data models, supporting the creation of applications that need to process, validate, and manipulate S-201 data.

The S-201 belongs to the S-100 framework family, a standard developed by the International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), is the framework for electronic navigational charts, hydrographic data, and other maritime-related geospatial information. These bindings are designed to facilitate integration of S-100 data into modern applications without the complexity of directly handling S-100 specifications.

!!!BE CAREFUL!!!

This software is only intended for test purposes and should NOT BE USED IN ANY PRODUCTION environment.

S-201 XML - Python Classes Generation

To generate the package you can run the xsdata generation command using the config provided in the repo.

xsdata generate ../../../specifications/s-201/2.0.0/S-201.xsd --package org.grad.enav.s201 --config .xsdata.xml --debug

Note that the configuration is fixed so that all the geneted classes are placed under a single file. This handles the circular dependency issues. The you can include generated grad.s201 package into your software to parse and render S-201 XML files.

Packaging the Project

You can follow the great tutorial about packaging python projects here

The metadata of the project can be found in the pyproject.toml file. This defines the required libraries and corresponding versions, packaging information, links to the README and licence files etc.

Then you can install PyPA's build:

python -m pip install --upgrade build

Then generate the project package using the following command:

python -m build

Finally you can upload the package to a repository like PyPI using twine

python -m pip install --upgrade twine

Note that you will also need an API token to upload the package, and you can pass it to the following command:

python -m twine upload -r pypi dist/*
