[RFC]: Use lxml to generate and manipulate XML documents
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 / more info: http://lxml.de/ -- Thanks and best regards!

Yeah, I think it is a good idea, I think we don't need any wrapper any more if we adopt this. On 2014?01?14? 12:57, Sheldon wrote:

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:

I just use it in new my new patch. You can refactor these old code with lxml.

I agree. lxml is a lot more friendly than libxml2, while it provides almost the same functionality. on 2014/01/14 12:57, Sheldon wrote:
