I think it is nice to use a generic lxml library to generate XML documents. About the existing XML documents generation like vmTemplate._get_cdrom_xml(), networkxml.to_network_xml() &etc, do you have plane to convert them to use lxml library? 2014/1/14 12:57, Sheldon:
As we all know there is a issue about generate and manipulate XML documents *https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi/issues/124*
IMO, lxml is a good choice. you can see this patch: $ git show 69edfe9 Mark use it to generate XML documents.
And for manipulate XML documents, here is a example. /$ ipython -c 'from lxml import objectify root = objectify.fromstring("<root><a k=\"key\">24.12.2000<b>12.24.2000</b></a></root>") print root.a print root.a.b print root.a.get("k") ' /
/re//sult//: // //24.12.2000 // //12.24.2000 // //key /
