XML: SAX and XInclude

[Laurent Pointal]

[python 2.5, Linux Mandriva 2007.1]

Hello,

does anybody know about an XML parser usable with the sax API (xml.sax)
and with XInclude feature support (directly or via hacks).

With specifying nothing (default parser), it simply transmit xinclude
elements (i tried to call parser on included file but it seem to be
waiting for a complete document with root element).

I tried libxml2, but failed with error (cf at the end).

I tried xmlproc, but it simply transmit xinclude elements too.

Thanks (its for PQRC - I've a first xhtml production which is not bad,
when it'll be ok I will work on OpenDocument XML production - and would
like to split PQRC xml source into several files).


A+

Laurent.



Problem with libxml2:

processing

Try lxml.etree.

http://codespeak.net/lxml/parsing.html#iterparse-and-iterwalk

It's not half as complicated as SAX, BTW.

I've already used ElementTree for XML tree manipulations in some
projects... will try to adapt my sax based processing to lxml using
those links.

Thanks,

Laurent.
