The past October 9, I’ve presented pyxser at the JRSL’09 — Jornadas Regionales de Software Libre — event. The assistance to the event was relatively poor in quantity, but strong in quality. The presentation itself was a conversation and interactive presentation for a small group, with continuous questions and explanations on how to work with pyxser, and how pyxser works. I’ve decided to publish the pyxser paper, presentation and demos, plus an explanation on this article about the presentation.

Today I’ve released pyxser-1.2r my Python Object to XML serializer/deserializer. To get more information about this project, visit the pyxser web page. This release has with byte string encoding for Unicode strings. This means that all Unicode strings are serialized in a human readable form, and also a better form to use pyxser with other platforms, since the encoding regards a better interoperability with byte encoded string handlers.

pyxser is a Python-Object to XML serializer and deserializer. The common serialization model that follows most object-to-xml serialization implementations, are doing it in the same way. Most of them — possibly all of them — are doing the same task: they create a custom XML element (a custom tag) for every object. By custom XML element, I understand an element named MyObject for every object (class instance) of the type MyObject, without considering its namespace and other proper attributes that a well structured serialization needs.

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:

Working with Web Services is not an easy task. We must know about XML, WSDL and some other technologies and also the framework that we are using. In this article I will try to demonstrate how easy is the task of sending objects through Web Services. First of all I’m using SOAPpy as my Web Services framework and the second element in the recipe is pyxser my Python-Object to XML serializer and deserializer.

Yesterday I’ve released pyxser-1.0R with all the work done. The ChangeLog for this release is as follows:

pyxser-1.0rc1 is here!. I’ve finished the preliminary work on pyxser, now it have a solid stability and have no memory leaks, running up to 1,400,000 pyxser operations without crashing. The current ChangeLog for this release is as follows:
