I was trying to start a discussion on a cool OO design. Problem's kind of solved; downer, huh? I haven't completed it, but it's a start. I expect I'll post some thoughts along with progress. Will Excel read it? We'll see. A design difference: Worksheet= lambda parent: etree.SubElement( parent, "Worksheet" ) Table= lambda parent: etree.SubElement( parent, "Table" ) sheet= Worksheet( book ) #parent table= Table( sheet ) vs. table= Table() #empty table sheet= Worksheet( table= table ) #child I want to call sheet.table sometimes. Is there a lxml equivalent? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
