Re: [Generateds-discuss] Namespace Removal in Exported XML

[Dave K. <dku...@da...>]

Jon,

Were you able to resolve your problem.

Here is another idea -- Post-process the exported XML output.

Here is a bit of code (found on the Web) that will strip namespece
definitions and namespace prefixes:

     doc = etree.parse("myfile.xml")
     root = doc.getroot()
     for elem in root.iter():
         elem.tag = etree.QName(elem).localname
     etree.cleanup_namespaces(root)
     with open("mynewfile.xml", 'wb') as outfile:
         doc.write(outfile)

I've attached a more complete script that does this.

By the way, opening the output file in binary mode seems weird to
me.  Alternatively, you could write to `outfile.buffer` or convert
to string with `etree.tostring(r, encoding='utf-8')`.  They all seem
about the same.  Take your pick.

Dave
