Today I’ve released pyxser-1.1r my Python Object to XML serializer. To get more information about this project, visit the pyxser web page. On this release I need a little bit of feedback from users. The message sent to the Python Mailing Lists is as follows:

Hello,

I'm pleased to announce pyxser-1.1r, a Python-Object to XML
serializer and deserializer. This package it's completely
written in C and licensed under LGPLv3.

The tested Python versions are 2.5.X and 2.7.X.

* hosted at:

The current ChangeLog is as follows:

-----8<----------8<----------8<----------8<-----
1.1r (2009.05.09):

        Daniel Molina Wegener <dmw arroba coder dot cl>
        * Removed bugs concerning XML schema declaration for output
        documents.
        * Removed bugs concerning XML schema design for C14N
        serialization.
        * Removed exc argument from C14N serialization functions,
        because they have no sense.
        * Code cleanup with function arguments (C code).
        * All changes seems to be transparent for previous versions.
-----8<----------8<----------8<----------8<-----

Also, I need a little bit of feedback. I want it to be able to
serialize files and buffers: I've planned to allow the user
to have three options: ignore files, serialize them in base64
encoding and just put the file name as string. But my question
concerns how the files and buffers are deserialized: I must
allow the user to dump the files on a directory, put the complete
file on a buffer object, or just extract the base64 encoded
block?

Best regards and thanks in advance...

Yes. I need to know the kind of options do you want to serialize files inside the object. Here we have four options:

  • serialize the files on Base 64 encoding.
  • put the file name on with file as type attribute.
  • ignore all files.
  • all previous options are valid.

And the remaining questions for file deserialization:

  • deserialize the files into a directory.
  • deserialize the files into a buffer object.
  • deserialize the files into a string object.
  • all the previous options are valid.

I you want to participate, just mail me ;)
