Hi,
I was wondering if someone had some advice:
I want to create a set of xml input files to my code that look as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Settings for the algorithm to be performed
-->
<Algorithm>
<!-- The algorithm type.
-->
<!-- The supported options are:
-->
<!-- - Alg0
-->
<!-- - Alg1
-->
<Type>Alg1</Type>
<!-- the location/path of the input file for this algorithm
-->
<path>./Alg1.in</path>
</Algorithm>
<!-- Relevant information during the processing will be written to a
logfile -->
<Logfile>
<!-- the location/path of the logfile (i.e. where to put the
logfile) -->
<path>c:\tmp</path>
<!-- verbosity level (i.e. how much to print)
-->
<!-- The supported options are:
-->
<!-- - 0 (nothing printed)
-->
<!-- - 1 (print on error)
-->
<verbosity>1</verbosity>
</Logfile>
So there are comments, whitespace etc ... in it.
I would like to be able to put everything into some sort of structure
such that i can access it as:
structure['Algorithm']['Type'] == Alg1
I was wondering if there is something out there that does this.
I found and tried a few things:
1) http://code.activestate.com/recipes/534109-xml-to-python-data-structure/
It simply doesn't work. I get the following error:
raise exception
xml.sax._exceptions.SAXParseException: <unknown>:1:2: not well-formed
(invalid token)
But i removed everything from the file except: <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="UTF-8"?>
and i still got the error.
Anyway, i looked at ElementTree, but that error out with:
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: junk after document element: line 19, column 0
Anyway, if anyone can give me advice of point me somewhere i'd greatly
appreciate it.
thanks
matt
