Re: [Generateds-discuss] Using parseLiteral()

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

I have resolved the parseLiteral() failure by RTFM. I needed to use the
--export option to generateDS.py.

It turns out that literals are for the XML where I was trying to extract
the expanded XSD.

The django extract and generate scripts should help me on my way.
