Re: Perl XML::Simple and Data::Dumper - exists in Python?

Can you point me out to Python solutions for: 1) Perl's Data::Dumper It dumps any perl variable to the stdout in a readable way. All Python objects support reflection and can be serialized to a data stream. There's about four ways to do it (Kinda perl-like in that regard, but typically for a particular application there's one obvious right choice). You control the way your objects appear as strings, by defining a __str__ member function that'll be invoked if the user does: % print str(yourObject) You can print any builtin type with just: lst = [one, two, (3, 4.56), 1] print lst ['one', 'two', (3, 4.5596), 1] 2) Perl's XML::Simple It maps a XML file into a Perl data structure. Python's got a Document Object Model lib that essentially maps an XML file to objects that have built-in-type behavior - you can treat a NodeList object as a python list, indexing into it, iterating over it's contents, etc. It's also got SAX and expat bindings. Does Python have something like these two tools? I've been googling before posting this and didn't find anything.
