CHARMING PYTHON (Special Installment) — Revisiting XML Tools for Python –

This article CHARMING PYTHON (Special Installment) — Revisiting XML Tools for Python – looks very interesting for the project I’m working on
More Modules: xml_pickle And xml_objectify

I have produced my own set of high-level modules for dealing with XML, called xml_pickle and xml_objectify. I have also written enough about these elsewhere (see Resources) that there is no need to go into a lot of details here. But these modules are often very useful when you want to “think in Python” rather than “think in XML.” xml_objectify especially hides almost all the traces of XML itself from a Python programmer, and lets her work with perfectly “native” Python objects within a program. The actual XML data format that underlies things is abstracted almost to the point of invisibility. Likewise, xml_pickle lets a Python programmer start out with “native” Python objects whose data comes from any source, and dump (serialize) them into an XML format that other users might want downstream.
