Re: [Jython-users] XML in Jython: ElementTree?

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

The pure python does work   , I am using the one available here
http://effbot.org/downloads/elementtree-1.2.6-20050316.zip

I unzipped  and copied  the "elementtree" subdirectory to  jython/Lib directory
and here is an interactive session .

D:\jython2.2>jython
Jython 2.2 on java1.5.0_12
Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from  elementtree import ElementTree as ET
>>> root = ET.Element("html")
>>> head = ET.SubElement(root, "head")
>>> title = ET.SubElement(head, "title")
>>> title.text = "Page Title"
>>> body = ET.SubElement(root, "body")
>>> body.set("bgcolor", "#ffffff")
>>> body.text = "Hello, World!"
>>> tree = ET.ElementTree(root)
>>> tree.write("page.xhtml")
>>> import sys
>>> tree.write(sys.stdout)
<html><head><title>Page Title</title></head><body bgcolor="#ffffff">Hello, World
!</body></html>>>>
