RSS Code for python 2.5 (pyxml Vs 4Suite)

dsampson · February 12th, 2008, 10:32 AM

Hey folks,

I'm working through Chapter 13 p.540-554

of course I am using python 2.5 and the code is designed to exploit pyxml which does not have a python 2.5 distro.

I have considered compiling. Maybe i'd compile on linux, but a windows box scares me. Just like glass, Windows tends to break when I try to clean something on it.

Any ideas of lines of code that need to be modified to accomodate 4suite instead of pyxml?

I have tried:

feed_reader.py
---------------

Code:

import xml.sax # old code

Code:

import Ft.Xml.Sax #new code, didn't work

Code:

from Ft.Xml import Sax # Second alternative. can not find SplitQname dll

something that did work, or at least passes bug test, full compile still fails due to above:

feed.py
---------

Code:

import xml.utils.iso8601 # old code
...
self.date = xml.utils.iso8601.parse(new_date)

Code:

import Ft.Lib.Time# new code works
...
self.date = Ft.Lib.Time.FromISO8601(new_date)

Any other ideas?

Found an interesting rescource http://livingpyxml.python-hosting.com/wiki/. Thye have a link to a compiled version of PyXml for Windows and Python 2.5

It would make things much easier than trying to re-factor the code.

I will try this out and report back
