◆ fixQuoteValue()

def python.XML2Python.fixQuoteValue ( match )

Changes all characters inside of the match

Definition at line 121 of file XML2Python.py.

     '''Changes all characters inside of the match'''
     quote = match.group(2)

◆ xml2obj()

def python.XML2Python.xml2obj ( kwargs )

Converts XML data into native Python object.  Takes either
file handle or string as input.  Does NOT fix illegal characters.

input source:  Exactly one of the three following is needed
filehandle     - input from file handle
contents       - input from string
filename       - input from filename

options:
filtering      - boolean value telling code whether or not to fileter
                 input selection to remove illegal XML characters
nameChangeDict - dictionaries of names to change in python object
