Hi,
I need to read a simle XML file. For this I use the SAX parser. So far
so good.
The XML file consist out of number of "Service" object with each object
a set of attributes.
I read through the XML file and for each "<Service>" entry I create a
new service object.
When I am in the "<Service>" part of the XML file and I encounter
"<Attributes>" then I store these attributes into a Python dictionary.
At the end of the "</Service>" tag I create the actual object and pass
the attributes directory to it.
The strange thing is that for some reason, the attributes for all the
objects are being updated. I don't understand why this happens.
I included the code and a example of the XML file (kd.xml)
The output should be:
Obj: name2 attribs: {}
Obj: name attribs: {attrib1, val1, atttrib1.1, val1.1}
Obj: name1 attribs: {attrib2, val 2}
but it is:
Obj: name2 attribs: {}
Obj: name attribs: {}
Obj: name1 attribs: {}
It's driving me nuts. I have spend hours going through this very simple
code, but I can't find what's wrong.
Any help is really very much appreciated.
With kind regards,
Kris
XML File (kd.xml):
