minidom

I want to add a child node with attributes to a specific tag. my xml is <deploy> </deploy> and the output should be <deploy> <script name="xyz" action="stop"/> </deploy> so far my code is: dom = parse("deploy.xml") script = dom.createElement("script") dom.childNodes[0].appendChild(script) dom.writexml(open(weblogicDeployXML, 'w')) script.setAttribute("name", args.script) How can I figure out how to find deploy tag and append child node with attributes ? William A. Romero R. xml.dom.Element.setAttribute xmlFile = minidom.parse( FILE_PATH ) for script in SCRIPTS: newScript = xmlFile

I've been using a minidom.toprettyxml for prettify my xml file. When I'm creating XML file and using this method, all works grate, but if I use it after I've modified the xml file (for examp I've added an additional nodes) and then I'm writing it back to XML, I'm getting empty lines, each time I'm updating it, I'm getting more and more empty lines... my code : file.write(prettify(xmlRoot)) def prettify(elem): rough_string = xml.tostring(elem, 'utf-8') //xml as ElementTree reparsed = mini.parseString(rough_string) //mini as minidom return reparsed.toprettyxml(indent=" ") and the result : <?xml

I have an XML file (e.g. jerry.xml) which contains some data as given below. <data> <country name="Peru"> <rank updated="yes">2</rank> <language>english</language> <currency>1.21$/kg</currency> <gdppc month="06">141100</gdppc> <gdpnp month="10">2.304e+0150</gdpnp> <neighbor name="Austria" direction="E"/> <neighbor name="Switzerland" direction="W"/> </country> <country name="Singapore"> <rank updated="yes">5</rank> <language>english</language> <currency>4.1$/kg</currency> <gdppc month="05">59900</gdppc> <gdpnp month="08">1.9e-015</gdpnp> <neighbor name="Malaysia" direction="N"/> </country> I

I'm using Python (minidom) to parse an XML file that prints a hierarchical structure that looks something like this (indentation is used here to show the significant hierarchical relationship): My Document Overview Basic Features About This Software Platforms Supported Instead, the program iterates multiple times over the nodes and produces the following, printing duplicate nodes. (Looking at the node list at each iteration, it's obvious why it does this but I can't seem to find a way to get the node list I'm looking for.)

I have an XML structure that looks like the following, but on a much larger scale: <root> <conference name='1'> <author> Bob </author> <author> Nigel </author> </conference> <conference name='2'> <author> Alice </author> <author> Mary </author> </conference> </root> For this, I used the following code: dom = parse(filepath) conference=dom.getElementsByTagName('conference') for node in conference: conf_name=node.getAttribute('name') print conf_name alist=node.getElementsByTagName('author') for a in alist: authortext= a.nodeValue print authortext However, the authortext that is printed out is

Is there a way I can preserve the original order of attributes when processing XML with minidom? Say I have: <color red="255" green="255" blue="233" /> when I modify this with minidom the attributes are rearranged alphabetically blue, green, and red. I'd like to preserve the original order. I am processing the file by looping through the elements returned by elements = doc.getElementsByTagName('color') and then I do assignments like this e.attributes["red"].value = "233" . Is there a way I can preserve the original order of attributes when processing XML with minidom? With minidom no, the

I am creating a GUI frontend for the Eve Online API in Python. I have successfully pulled the XML data from their server. I am trying to grab the value from a node called "name": from xml.dom.minidom import parse dom = parse("C:\\eve.xml") name = dom.getElementsByTagName('name') print name This seems to find the node, but the output is below: [<DOM Element: name at 0x11e6d28>] How could I get it to print the value of the node? eduffy It should just be name[0].firstChild.nodeValue Probably something like this if it's the text part you want... from xml.dom.minidom import parse dom = parse("C:\
