[Generateds-discuss] Using parseLiteral()

[Pete F. <pe...@gm...>]

My high level goal is to read an XML schema (XSD), expand its imports and
extract the types. I can use XPath on my XML document to extract values as
text. I'd like then to use XPath or similar on the XSD to correctly coerce
the text values to their types.

It looks as if parseLiteral() / exportLiteral() might do the trick. However
I have not been able to use them. I've got the test data and this
successfully pretty prints the XML.

$ python3 -c "import people; people.parse('people.xml')"

I've tried a number of things but they all are unable to resolve
exportLiteral().

$ python3 -c "import people; people.parseLiteral('people.xml')"
#from people import *

import people as model_

rootObj = model_.rootClass(
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "[...]/people.py", line 3345, in parseLiteral
    rootObj.exportLiteral(sys.stdout, 0, name_=rootTag)
AttributeError: 'people' object has no attribute 'exportLiteral'
