#873 Python Editor + XML Loading

[Kyle Anderson]

Python Model Editor

Two modifications are required to enable the Python Model Editor:
- Add a "--generate_python" flag which dynamically generates python classes for each GLD class. The python classes make it easy build models using an eclipse IDE with code completion

• Changes the core so we can load .xml models. (This feature was there at one point, but has become deprecated).

Andy,

Please work with Dave (and Kyle) to migrate this.

I think we should shoot for v3.2 (Python), along with the Eclipse re-boot of the build tools. This will make for a nice combination.

The XML is a higher priority. If we decide to move towards CIM compliant, then this is a necessary feature, particularly when coupled with the GLM output functions.

This key has yet to be integrated into trunk.

I'm going to have to postpone integrating this till after the Knothole. I can't get it to build in the Windows environment. I suspect that it is not linking correctly with the xerces-c library for some strange reason.
