HI all,
I am looking to parse a unix tool called lshw (
http://ezix.sourceforge.net/software/lshw.html ). Now this provides a
nice XML output which looks similar to the bottom of this message..
Now I want to parse and get some information from it so here is what I
have..
class HWParser:
def __init__(self):
if os.path.isfile(LSHW):
lshw=Exec.Exec(LSHW)
lshw.execute('-xml')
else:
print "lshw does not exist", LSWH
return "Unknown"
self.data = lshw.read()
self.error = lshw.error()
self.exit = lshw.poll()
if self.error:
print "Error Exist", self.error
return
else:
self.xml = minidom.parseString(self.data)
self.xml.normalize()
self.context=xml.xpath.Context.Context(self.xml)
def CPUType(self):
nodes = xml.xpath.Evaluate("//processor/description/text()",
context=self.context)
for node in nodes:
print node.nodeValue
def p (self):
print self.xml.toxml()
c=HWParser()
c.p()
c.CPUType()
Now if you can't tell I am a newbie and really want to have some help
here. I know the c.p does work and it does spit out all of the XML
backout. So getting the data in is not a problem, getting it out
appears to be a problem.
Basically my problem is that I want to bet able to say get me the type
of CPU we have. I know I could grep this information but I'd rather do
it the proper way.
So when I call c.CPUType it should return
[ Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.8Ghz, Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 2.8Ghz ]
because there is two of them..
Am I asking too much? Probably just an idiot at the wheel :) Feel
free to comment on my style as well as hey - that's probably a bit
messy too :)
Thanks much
