I was thinking about integrating cElementTree in the future,
I think that is the way to go, it gives everything you need and has been tested a lot.
but to make
a quick proof of concept, I just have my toxml() manually assembling a
string, using generators.
that's ok, but soon you'll need a nice backend :)
you actually got workign code? if it's possible can I take a look?
currently, XMLValue and it's subclasses are optional, with a 'required'
bool keyword argument to __init__, also an XMLNodeList can have 0 items
(and therefore not appear)
I could add another magic attribute parsed from XMLAttrs, like _tagname,
called _required ...
I think there should be a general way (classes,fields) to tell the engine which fields are optional and which aren't, so the render function can detect a malform object, but this could turn into a huge validation scheme which I'm not sure if you want. Although if you ever generate some xml-based std, there should be a validation
but generally if a tag has child tags, its going to be used.
yes that's the way it should
I've seen hypy before, some months ago, it's yet another template language;
It is an interesting idea though.
I like the indentation thing which is basically what your doing here, what i don't like is the placeholder which you avoid with the class structure.
