Hi everyone, I am a total newbie to XML parsing. I've written a couple of toy examples under the instruction of tutorials available on the web.
The problem I want to solve is this. I have an XML snippet (in a string) that looks like this: <booga foo="1" bar="2"> <well>hello</well> <blah>goodbye</blah> </booga> and I want to alphabetize not only the attributes of an element, but I also want to alphabetize the elements in the same scope: <booga bar="2" foo="1"> <blah>goodbye</blah> <well>hello</well> </booga> I've found a "Canonizer" class, that subclasses saxlib.HandlerBase, and played around with it and vaguely understand what it's doing. But what I get out of it is <booga bar="2" foo="1"> <well>hello</well> <blah>goodbye</blah> </booga> in other words it sorts the attributes of each element, but doesn't touch the order of the elements. How can I sort the elements? I think I want to subclass the parser, to present the elements to the content handler in different order, but I couldn't immediately find any examples of the parser being subclassed. Thanks for any pointers! --JMike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
