[NEW] pyRXP - the fastest xml parser (for python at least)

it's a good thing that ArchLinux has pyxml (in staging).
now I build (and hopefully a TU or neotuli will give a damn ) pyRXP:

PKGBUILD

pkgname=pyrxp
pkgver=1.05
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="A very fast xml-parser for python"
depends=(python)
url="http://www.reportlab.org/pyrxp.html"
source=(http://www.reportlab.org/daily/pyRXP-$pkgver-daily-unix.tgz)
license="GPL"

build() {
  cd $startdir/src/pyRXP-$pkgver-$(date '+%Y%m%d')/pyRXP  # yes it rocks ;)
  # python is sooooo cool!
  python setup.py install --root=$startdir/pkg
}

usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyRXPU.so

build this, and slap those who accuse Python of being slow

Documentation:
http://www.reportlab.com/docs/PyRXP_Documentation.pdf

Examples (doumentated in section 4 of docs):
http://www.reportlab.org/ftp/pyrxp_examples.zip

IBMDevWorks:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/l … ers29.html

NOTE: for the PDF examples and the DevWorks examples you should have at least xmlutils.py (helper file from src/examples) in your current dir. So in other words, if you want to develop you need also the source (tell us sth new mr zeppelin8) )

to parse unicode
import pyRXPU

and if you have that non-unicode exists do:
import pyRXPU as pyRXP
