XXX what's the license for everything? Python-style?
This is the first test release of the Python XML package. The
distribution contains a validating XML parser, and an implementation
of the SAX programming interface, along with a Python interface to the
Expat parser, and a C helper module that can speed up xmllib.py by a
factor of 5. There's even documentation!
There's also a very new DOM implementation included here. DOM
isn't even a standard yet, but is still at the first working draft
stage. Therefore, while you can use the DOM code (at your own risk),
it may change in non-backward-compatible ways in future, and
accordingly the DOM code is not documented.
To compile everything, simply perform the following steps.
1)
Run "make -f Makefile.pre.in boot". This creates Makefile
(producing Makefile.pre and sedscript as intermediate files) and
config.c, incorporating the values for sys.prefix, sys.exec_prefix
and sys.version from the installed Python binary. For this to work,
the python binary must be on your path. If this fails, try
make -f Makefile.pre.in Makefile VERSION=1.5 installdir=<prefix>
where <prefix> is the prefix used to install Python for installdir
(and possibly similar for exec_installdir=<exec_prefix>).
2)
Once the Makefile has been constructed, run "make" to compile the C modules.
There's no test suite yet, but there will be one someday.
3)
To install everything in the site-packages directory as an xml/ package,
run "make install".
If you have difficulty installing this software, send a problem report
to <xml-sig@python.org> describing the problem.
