Subject: [Announce] Gnosis (XML) Utils 1.0.4 Date: Mon 09-30-2002 BACKGROUND: Gnosis Utilites contains a number of Python libraries, most (but not all) related to working with XML. These include: gnosis.xml.pickle (XML pickling of Python objects) gnosis.xml.objectify (Any XML to "native" Python objects) gnosis.xml.validity (Enforce validity constraints) gnosis.xml.indexer (XPATH indexing of XML documents) gnosis.indexer (Full-text indexing/searching) [...].convert.txt2html (Convert ASCII source files to HTML) gnosis.util.dtd2sql (DTD -> SQL 'CREATE TABLE' statements) gnosis.util.sql2dtd (SQL query -> DTD for query results) gnosis.util.xml2sql (XML -> SQL 'INSERT INTO' statements) gnosis.util.combinators (Combinatorial higher-order functions) gnosis.util.introspect (Introspect Python objects) ...and so much more! :-) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ This release contains a variety of minor bugfixes contributed by users: * gnosis.xml.validity accidentally left out of 1.0.3 distribution. * gnosis.introspect has minor improvements/corrections. * User contributed, but not really tested, improvements to gnosis.indexer. Let me know if this breaks something (it has to do with reindexing working correctly). * Cleanup of gnosis.xml.objectify bug introduced in 1.0.3 (problem was detecting file object rather than string or DOM). * Probably something else I forgot. It may be obtained at: http://gnosis.cx/download/Gnosis_Utils-1.0.4.tar.gz The current release is always available as: http://gnosis.cx/download/Gnosis_Utils-current.tar.gz Try it out, have fun, send feedback!
