Hi, I'm using MSXML to select elements from a XML document and want to slice off the last part of an IXMLDOMNodeList.
>>> import win32com.client >>> xmldoc = win32com.client.Dispatch('msxml.DOMDocument') >>> xmldoc.load('file.xml') True >>> rgelem = xmldoc.selectNodes('/root/elem') >>> if rgelem.length > 10: ... rgelem = rgelem[-10:] ... Traceback (most recent call last): File "<interactive input>", line 2, in ? File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 454, in __getattr__ raise AttributeError, "'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % (repr(self), attr) AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft XML, v4.0.IXMLDOMNodeList instance at 0x19500888>' object has no attribute '__len__' >>> The IXMLDOMNodeList obviously doesn't have a '__len__' member function (why not?). Is there a way to make the IXMLDOMNodeList support slicing? I've tried to give the rgelem object a __len__ member, but got an exception from __setattr__: File "C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\win32com\client\__init__.py", line 462, in __setattr__ raise AttributeError, "'%s' object has no attribute '%s'" % (repr(self), attr) AttributeError: '<win32com.gen_py.Microsoft XML, v4.0.IXMLDOMNodeList instance at 0x26395112>' object has no attribute '__len__' Anybody know how to make this work?
