new to python, looking for streams clues
Hello peoples, As I said, I'm new to python, and particularly to XML generation in python. Using the 4suite XML package, I have been able to produce XML, but only directly to STDOUT. Refering to the 4suite markupWriter refrence, the class needs a stream to output the generated XML, and if none is specified, it's the STDOUT stream that is used. What I would like, would be to store the generated XML into a python object which implement the stream interface to be able to transform it via XSLT if needed (it's in a web based project). But, I've read the python doc for the last 12 hours without finding anything about an existing object that implements that interface. Am I missing something, or should I really create that object myself ? I mean, I just need something that I can write into and read thereafter. It should already exists, no ? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

It does, it's named StringIO (or cStringIO for the faster C implementation), and it's part of the standard lib. AFAICT, it should fit your needs. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I had seen it, but understood that you had to give it an already existing string to operate on that one. I feel a bit stupid. Time to get back to those lost sleep hours, I presume. But again, thanks everyone. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
