ANN: Amara XML Toolkit 1.2.0.2
http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4suite/amara http://cheeseshop.python.org/pypi/Amara/ ftp://ftp.4suite.org/pub/Amara/ Changes since Amara 1.2.0.1: * Fix bindery bug with e.g. del html.head.title * Fix bindery bug with elements named None * Fix bindery bug when a string object gets into a binding * Minor documentation and packaging tweaks Amara XML Toolkit is a collection of Python tools for XML processing-- not just tools that happen to be written in Python, but tools built from the ground up to use Python's conventions and take advantage of the many advantages of the language. Amara builds on 4Suite [http://4Suite.org], but whereas 4Suite offers more on literal implementation of XML standards in Python, Amara focuses on Pythonic idiom. It provides tools you can trust to conform with XML standards without losing the familiar Python feel. The components of Amara are: * Bindery: data binding tool (a very Pythonic XML API) * Scimitar: implementation of the ISO Schematron schema language for XML; converts Schematron files to Python scripts * domtools: set of tools to augment Python DOMs * saxtools: set of tools to make SAX easier to use in Python * Flextyper: user-defined datatypes in Python for XML processing There's a lot in Amara, but here are highlights: Amara Bindery: XML as easy as py Bindery reads an XML document and it returns a data structure of Python objects corresponding to the vocabulary used in the XML document, for maximum clarity. Bindery turns the document monty python spam=eggsWhat do you mean bleh/python python ministry=abuseBut I was looking for argument/python /monty Would become a set of objects so that you could write binding.monty.python.spam In order to get the value eggs (as a Python Unicode object) or binding.monty.python[1] In order to get the element object with the contents But I was looking for argument. There are other such tools for Python, and what makes Bindery unique is that it's driven by a very declarative rules-based system for binding XML to the Python data. You can register rules that are triggered by XPattern expressions specialized binding behavior. It includes XPath support and is very efficient, using SAX to generate bindings. See the user documentation, manual.html, for more details. Scimitar: exceptional schema language for an exceptional programming language - Scimitar is an implementation of ISO Schematron that compiles a Schematron schema into a Python validator script. You typically use scimitar in two phases. Say you have a schematron schema schema1.stron and you want to validate multiple XML files against it, instance1.xml, instance2.xml, instance3.xml. First you run schema1.stron through the scimitar compiler script, scimitar.py: scimitar.py schema1.stron A file, schema1-stron.py, is generated in the current working directory. If you'd prefer a different location or file name, use the -o option. The generated file is a validator script in Python. It checks the schematron rules specified in schema1.stron. Run this validator on each XML file you wish to validate: python schema1.py instance1.xml The validation report is generated on standard output by default, or you can use the -o option to redirect it to a file. The validation report is an XML external parsed entity, a format much like a well-formed XML document, but with some restrictions relaxed. Amara DOM Tools: giving DOM a more Pythonic face Amara DOM Tools features pushdom, similar to xml.dom.pulldom, but easier to use, and a function to return an XPath location for any DOM node. Amara SAX Tools: SAX without the brain explosion Tenorsax (amara.saxtools.tenorsax) is a framework for linerarizing SAX logic so it flows a bit more naturally, needing much less state machine wizardry. License --- Amara is open source, provided under the 4Suite variant of the Apache license. See the file COPYING for details. Installation Amara requires Python 2.4 or more recent and 4Suite-XML 1.0 or more recent. The easiest way to install it is: easy_install amara If this does not work you are probably not set up for easy_install and I suggest you follow the simple instructions at http://peak.telecommunity.com/DevCenter/EasyInstall easy_install will automatically take care of installing dependencies for you. If you prefer not to use easy_install, grab a 4Suite-XML package more recent than 1.0 and install that, then install the Amara package using the usual: python setup.py install Or a Windows installer, or other method. -- Uche Ogbuji http://uche.ogbuji.net Linked-in profile: http://www.linkedin.com/in/ucheogbuji Articles: http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/publications/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo

The components of Amara are: * Bindery: data binding tool (a very Pythonic XML API) * Scimitar: implementation of the ISO Schematron schema language for XML; converts Schematron files to Python scripts * domtools: set of tools to augment Python DOMs * saxtools: set of tools to make SAX easier to use in Python * Flextyper: user-defined datatypes in Python for XML processing There's a lot in Amara, but here are highlights: Amara Bindery: XML as easy as py Bindery turns an XML document into a tree of Python objects corresponding to the vocabulary used in the XML document, for maximum clarity. For example, the document monty python spam=eggsWhat do you mean bleh/python python ministry=abuseBut I was looking for argument/python /monty Becomes a data structure such that you can write binding.monty.python.spam In order to get the value eggs or binding.monty.python[1] In order to get the value But I was looking for argument. There are other such tools for Python, and what makes Anobind unique is that it's driven by a very declarative rules-based system for binding XML to the Python data. You can register rules that are triggered by XPattern expressions specialized binding behavior. It includes XPath support and supports mutation. Bindery is very efficient, using SAX to generate bindings. Scimitar: Schematron for Pytthon Merged in from a separate project, Scimitar is an implementation of ISO Schematron that compiles a Schematron schema into a Python validator script. You typically use scimitar in two phases. Say you have a schematron schema schema1.stron and you want to validate multiple XML files against it, instance1.xml, instance2.xml, instance3.xml. First you run schema1.stron through the scimitar compiler script, scimitar.py: scimitar.py schema1.stron The generated file, schema1.py, can be used to validate XML instances: python schema1.py instance1.xml Which emits a validation report. Amara DOM Tools: giving DOM a more Pythonic face DOM came from the Java world, hardly the most Pythonic API possible. Some DOM-like implementations such as 4Suite's Domlettes mix in some Pythonic idiom. Amara DOM Tools goes even further. Amara DOM Tools feature pushdom, similar to xml.dom.pulldom, but easier to use. It also includes Python generator-based tools for DOM processing, and a function to return an XPath location for any DOM node. Amara SAX Tools: SAX without the brain explosion Tenorsax (amara.saxtools.tenorsax) is a framework for linerarizing SAX logic so that it flows more naturally, and needs a lot less state machine wizardry.

Amara XML Toolkit 0.9.1 changes
Forgot the changes in the original announcement: * Fixed embarrassing misinterpretation of sax.handler.feature_namespace_prefixes Now Namespace prefixes work fine with or without PyXML installed * Add saxtools.namespace_mixin utility class * Clean up bindery.document_base name attributes * Add bindery.element_base.xml_remove_child and .xml_index_on_parent-- methods for easier removal of children * tenorsax was useless due to accidental late mangling before 0.9.0 release. Fixed. * Use tenorsax fully in Scimitar. Scimitar is now a complete ISO schematron implementation in about 500 lines of Python code (including the skeletons for code generation) http://lists.fourthought.com/pipermail/4suite/2004-December/013143.html -- Uche OgbujiFourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.nethttp://4Suite.orghttp://fourthought.com Use CSS to display XML - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/edu/x-dw-x-xmlcss-i.html Full XML Indexes with Gnosis - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/12/08/py-xml.html Be humble, not imperial (in design) - http://www.adtmag.com/article.asp?id=10286 UBL 1.0 - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-think28.html Use Universal Feed Parser to tame RSS - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tipufp.html Default and error handling in XSLT lookup tables - http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-tiplook.html A survey of XML standards - http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-stand4/ The State of Python-XML in 2004 - http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/10/13/py-xml.html -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
ANN: Amara XML Toolkit 0.9.0
http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4Suite/amara Amara XML Toolkit is a collection of Pythonic tools for XML data binding. Not just tools that happen to be written in Python, but tools built from the ground up to use Python idioms and take advantage of the many advantages of Python over other programming languages. Amara builds on 4Suite, but whereas 4Suite focuses more on literal implementation of XML standards in Python, Amara adds a much more Pythonic face to these capabilities. Amara provides tools you can trust to conform with XML standards without losing the familiar Python feel. The components of Amara are: * Bindery: data binding tool (fancy way of saying: a very Pythonic XML API) * Scimitar: implementation of the ISO Schematron schema language for XML; converts Schematron files to Python scripts * domtools: set of tools to augment Python DOMs * saxtools: set of tools to make SAX easier to use in Python There's a lot in Amara, but here are highlights: Amara Bindery: XML as easy as py Based on the retired project Anobind, but updated to use SAX rather than DOM to create bindings. Bindery reads an XML document and returns a data structure of Python objects corresponding to the vocabulary used in the XML document, for maximum clarity. Bindery turns the document monty python spam=eggsWhat do you mean bleh/python python ministry=abuseBut I was looking for argument/python /monty Into a set of objects such that you can write binding.monty.python.spam In order to get the value eggs or binding.monty.python[1] In order to get the value But I was looking for argument. There are other such tools for Python, and what makes Anobind unique is that it's driven by a very declarative rules-based system for binding XML to the Python data. You can register rules that are triggered by XPattern expressions specialized binding behavior. It includes XPath support and is very efficient, using SAX to generate bindings. Scimitar: exceptional schema language for an exceptional programming language - Merged in from a separate project, Scimitar is an implementation of ISO Schematron that compiles a Schematron schema into a Python validator script.
