EasyXML is an easy and concise way to generate XML output in Python. It uses a custom attribute getter so element names can be specified directly in the code: books = EasyXML('books') books.book(title='Example A') books.book.author(name='John Smith', age=57) books.book.publisher(name='Publisher A') books.book(title='Example B') books.book.author(name='Jane Doe', age=30) books.book.author(name='James Cutter', age=45) books.book.publisher(name='Publisher B') print str(books) The above code produces the following XML: <books> <book title="Example A"> <author age="57" name="John Smith"/> <publisher name="Publisher A"/> </book> <book title="Example B"> <author age="30" name="Jane Doe"/> <author age="45" name="James Cutter"/> <publisher name="Publisher B"/> </book> </books> You don't actually need to create every parent element, allowing the following code to work: root = EasyXML('root') root.a.b.c() root.a.b.c() root.a() root.a.b.c() root.a.b.c() print str(root) The above code produces the following XML: <root> <a> <b> <c/> <c/> </b> </a> <a> <b> <c/> <c/> </b> </a> </root> Creating an element returns that element, which can then be passed to helper methods: def material(primitive, ambient, diffuse): primitive.ambient(r=ambient[0], g=ambient[1], b=ambient[2]) primitive.diffuse(r=diffuse[0], g=diffuse[1], b=diffuse[2]) root = EasyXML('root') material(root.primitive(type='sphere'), (64, 0, 0), (192, 0, 0)) material(root.primitive(type='cube'), (0, 64, 0), (0, 192, 0)) print str(root) The above code produces the following XML: <root> <primitive type="sphere"> <ambient b="0" g="0" r="64"/> <diffuse b="0" g="0" r="192"/> </primitive> <primitive type="cube"> <ambient b="0" g="64" r="0"/> <diffuse b="0" g="192" r="0"/> </primitive> </root>
