Thank you for this links - lots of interesting stuff there that I didn't know.
Hi Henning,
My first attempt used DOM, but I get a cleaner, more readable, better
extendable code with SAX.
If you want a cleaner coder, you give might one of the more "pythonic"
XML APIs, like ElementTree or XIST a try.

Yes, I see it. What I tried to explain is that I use the factory
pattern (well, sort of)
def getPages(self):
return self.pages.getSortedArray()
def getPage(self, no):
return self.pages[no]

That's good, I think. Thank you.

Hi there!
I just wrote a SAX handler for XML files that describe a newspaper issue (list
of pages etc.); I'd like to know if I could do it better.
def startElement(self, name, attrs):
"""call an own handler method named _start_Something
for a Something element if it exists,
to avoid
11 matches
