Hi everyone.
I'm trying to learn python as it relates to parsing xml, and I thought I would start by trying to create an easy (or I thought would be easy) function
to match on a certain attribute in an xml file and print out it's related attribute.
Here's an example to hopeful make sense of what I'm trying to produce.
I want to convert the following working function from:
To something where I can subsitute 'hark' with whatever class attribute I want to search on, to
something like the NON-WORKING function:
I've tried several different ways into subsituing the class attribute, but I can't seem to get this figured out.
Here are some of the ways I tried:
I thought it would be easy, but I'm stumped.
Any ideas on how to get this working?
Okay, so I have had this problem on openSUSE, and Debian systems now and I am hoping for a little help. I think it has something to do with Python but I couldn't find a proper Python area here.

ctypeslib(1) User Commands ctypeslib(1)NAME
h2xml - convert header files to XML intermediates
xml2py - convert XML intermediates to Python ctypes interface
SYNOPSIS
h2xml includefile ... [options] -o outputxmlfile
xml2py xmlfile ... [options] -o outputpyfile
DESCRIPTION
ctypeslib is a Python code generator capable of converting C header files into xml files (using gccxml), and then converting the xmlfiles
into Python modules which define a ctypes interface to the corresponding C library.
Ctypeslib is not ctypes. Ctypes is included in Python 2.5+ and as an add-on for lower versions, while ctypeslib is a lesser known add-on
written by the ctypes author. If you use ctypes a lot and are tired of setting argtypes and restype of the called functions, you should
look into ctypeslib. Ctypeslib can also set up data types and structures from C header files automatically.
h2xml and xml2py are the user interface scripts to ctypeslib. h2xml converts C header files into xml intermediates (using gccxml) and
xml2py converts these intermediates to Python files. At the minimum, you can get automatic construction of the C types (structures, etc)
in ctypes definitions. With extra options, macro definitions can be expanded and the output Python file can be automatically linked (using
ctypes) to the corresponding C library.
The briefest example is:
h2xml header.h -o out_c.xml
xml2py out_c.xml -o out_c.py
To obtain preprocessor symbols, you must use the -c flag to h2xml. To automatically link to C libraries via ctypes, you muss pass the rel-
evant libraries to xml2py with -l library.so.
OPTIONS
h2xml options:
-h, --help
show brief help message
-q, --quiet
-D NAME[=VALUE]
macros to define
-U NAME
macros to undefine
-I DIRECTORY
additional include directories
-o XMLFILE
XML output filename
-c, --cpp-symbols
try to find #define symbols - this may give compiler errors, so it's off by default.
-k don't delete the temporary files created (useful for finding problems)
xml2py options:
-h, --help
show this help message and exit
-c include source file location in comments
-d include docstrings containing C prototype and source file location
-k TYPEKIND
kind of type descriptions to include: d = #defines, e = enumerations, f = functions, s = structures, t = typedefs
-l DLLS
libraries to search for exported functions
-o OUTPUT
output filename (if not specified, standard output will be used)
-r EXPRESSION
regular expression for symbols to include (if neither symbols nor expressions are specified,everything will be included)
-s SYMBOL
symbol to include (if neither symbols nor expressions are specified,everything will be included)
-v verbose output
-w add all standard windows dlls to the searched dlls list
-m module
Python module(s) containing symbols which will be imported instead of generated
--preload=DLL
dlls to be loaded before all others (to resolve symbols)
