Objectify

objectify Objectify

pyspreedly.objectify.objectify_spreedly(xml)

Does some high level stuff to the XML tree, and then passes it off to parse_element() to get the data back as a dictionary. Truth be told it is not really objectifying spreedly, but turning it into a dictionary.

Parameters:xml – xml string or file object. If it is a string, it is turned into StringIO.

pyspreedly.objectify.parse_element(element)

Recursivly parses an element of the xml node depth first. Turns all xml tags to underscore instead of dashes. Handles all types in _types (string, integer datetime, decimal, boolean, array). Every other type is treated as a string. There are some damn odd types in the data passed. Warning - this doesn’t check that the data is what it should be, or that stuff is not being added.

Parameters:element – ElementTree element. Returns:dictionary of the data (unordered but with correct heirarchy). Raises:MaximumRecursionDepthExceeded if you do pass some crazy huge and deap XML tree
