I have a large program with lots of data stored in XML. I'm upgrading my GUI to use ObjectListView, but with my data in XML, I don't have regular objects to interact with the OLV. I do have an XML validator that defines the structure of the XML elements, and I'm trying to dynamically create a class to wrap the XML element.
So, an element like: <market code="WotF"> <title>Writers of the Future</title> </market> I want to create a class like: class Market(object): def __init__(self, elem): self._elem = elem def get_code(self): return self._elem.get('code') def set_code(self, value): self._elem.set('code', value) def get_title(self): return self._elem.find('title').text def set_title(self, value): node = self._elem.find('title') node.text = value Naturally, I don't want to hand code this for every interface but would like to create them dynamically. (The laziness of programming, I guess.) I have tried several solutions that I found on various forums, but they are all several years old. Questions: What's the best way to create these helper methods? How can I attach them to the class and have it run? I have had a few solutions work where I had a class with three methods (get_code, get_tier, get_mail) but they all return the same value, not the individual values. ---- Josh English -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
