etgen.utils¶
Some utility functions.
(This module’s source code is available here.)
Functions
|
|
|
The python-future package introduces a special helper class newstr which simulates, under Python 2, the behaviour of Python 3 strings. |
|
Resolve any lazy translatable strings. |
|
Examples: |
|
|
|
Return a pretty-printed XML string for the Element. |
Classes
|
An XML namespace. |

join_elems
(elems, sep=' ')¶ Examples:
>>> join_elems([1, 2, 3]) [1, ' ', 2, ' ', 3] >>> join_elems([1, 2, 3],' / ') [1, ' / ', 2, ' / ', 3] >>> join_elems([]) []
-
etgen.utils.
forcetext
(iter)¶ Resolve any lazy translatable strings. Utility function for lxml element trees.
-
etgen.utils.
pretty_print
(elem)¶ Return a pretty-printed XML string for the Element.
-
etgen.utils.
compatstr
(s)¶ The python-future package introduces a special helper class newstr which simulates, under Python 2, the behaviour of Python 3 strings. But xml.etree.ElementTree in Python 2 doesn’t know about python-future and produces invalid XML when you feed it with such a string.
So this function converts any newstr back to a real newstr.
TODO: Not yet tested under Python 3. At the best it is just unefficient.

class
etgen.utils.
Namespace
(targetNamespace=None, names=None, prefix=None)¶ Bases:
object
An XML namespace. Base class for
etgen.html.HtmlNamespace
and the namespaces defined inetgen.intervat
.-
fromstring
(s, **kwargs)¶ Build an element tree from the given XML source string.
This just forwards to the
xml.etree.ElementTree.fromstring()
library function. See the Parsing XML section of the Python docs.
-
raw
(*args)¶ Parses the given string into an XML Element.
