Hi Andy,
by the looks of it I'd say that the problem is that the second
parameter you passed to start_element is not a dictionary at all (the
clue is in the "AttributeError: 'LIST' object" ...).
>>> d = ['tree', 'house']
>>> start_element("Thing", d)
Thing :
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'
>>> d = {'tree': 'hug', 'flower' : 'eat'}
>>> start_element("Thing", d)
Thing : flower="eat" tree="hug"

Hi
I'm new to Python and trying to pick up good, idiomatic usage right
from the offset.
As I was familiar with Expat from C++ (directly and via expatpp) I'm
trying to write a little script - using xml.parsers.expat - to search
and replace XML attribute values.
As I want the attributes to stay in order when the file is written out
(so I can check my results with a diff tool) I've set the parser's
ordered_attributes attribute. But this has stopped the for loop
working with the tuplets.
The relevant bit of code in my little test, using the default
Dictionary for the attributes, is:
def start_element(name, attrs):
print "%s : " % name,
for (a,b) in attrs.items():
print " %s=\"%s\"" % (a,b),
But when I set ordered_attributes, first it doesn't like the items()
AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'items'
And then it doesn't like the tuple
ValueError: too many values to unpack
Do I have keep track of where I am (name, value, name, value, ...)
Or is there a way I can solve the problem with a tuple?
Thanks, Andy
