| Summary : Powerful and Pythonic XML processing library combining libxml2/libxslt with the ElementTree API.
|
Description :
lxml is a Pythonic, mature binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries. It
provides safe and convenient access to these libraries using the ElementTree
API.
It extends the ElementTree API significantly to offer support for XPath,
RelaxNG, XML Schema, XSLT, C14N and much more.
In case you want to use the current in-development version of lxml, you can
get it from the subversion repository at http://codespeak.net/svn/lxml/trunk .
Running ``easy_install lxml==dev`` will install it from
http://codespeak.net/svn/lxml/trunk#egg=lxml-dev
Current bug fixes for the stable version are at
http://codespeak.net/svn/lxml/branch/lxml-1.2 .
Running ``easy_install lxml==1.2bugfix`` will install this
version from

1.2 (2007-02-20)
================
Features added
--------------
* Rich comparison of QName objects
* Support for regular expressions in benchmark selection
* get/set emulation (not .attrib!) for attributes on processing instructions
* ElementInclude Python module for ElementTree compatible XInclude processing
that honours custom resolvers registered with the source document
* ElementTree.parser property holds the parser used to parse the document
* setup.py has been refactored for greater readability and flexibility
* --rpath flag to setup.py to induce automatic linking-in of dynamic library
runtime search paths has been renamed to --auto-rpath. This makes it
possible to pass an --rpath directly to distutils; previously this was being
shadowed.
Bugs fixed
----------
* Element instantiation now uses locks to prevent race conditions with threads
* ElementTree.write() did not raise an exception when the file was not writable
* Error handling could crash under Python < = 2.4.1 - fixed by disabling thread
support in these environments
* Element.find*() did not accept QName objects as path
Other changes
-------------
* code cleanup: redundant _NodeBase super class merged into _Element class
Note: although the impact should be zero in most cases, this change breaks
the compatibiliy of the public C-API
