save all the xml parsing in Dict with Python



I would like to save all the content in my dict. I can catch almost everything except the last items.


My python's code look like this:



#!/usr/bin/python

import xml.sax

class MovieHandler( xml.sax.ContentHandler ):
def __init__(self):
self.item = {}
self.CurrentData = ""
self.type = ""
self.format = ""
self.year = ""
self.rating = ""
self.stars = ""
self.description = ""

# Call when an element starts
def startElement(self, tag, attributes):
self.CurrentData = tag
if tag == "movie":
#if self.item:
print self.item
print "*****Movie*****"
title = attributes["title"]
print "Title:", title

# Call when an elements ends
def endElement(self, tag):
if self.CurrentData == "type":
self.item["type"] = self.type
#print "Type:", self.type
elif self.CurrentData == "format":
self.item["format"] = self.format
#print "Format:", self.format
elif self.CurrentData == "year":
self.item["year"] = self.year
#print "Year:", self.year
elif self.CurrentData == "rating":
self.item["rating"] = self.rating
#print "Rating:", self.rating
elif self.CurrentData == "stars":
self.item["stars"] = self.stars
#print "Stars:", self.stars
elif self.CurrentData == "description":
self.item["description"] = self.description
#print "Description:", self.description
self.CurrentData = ""

# Call when a character is read
def characters(self, content):
if self.CurrentData == "type":
self.type = content
elif self.CurrentData == "format":
self.format = content
elif self.CurrentData == "year":
self.year = content
elif self.CurrentData == "rating":
self.rating = content
elif self.CurrentData == "stars":
self.stars = content
elif self.CurrentData == "description":
self.description = content

if ( __name__ == "__main__"):

# create an XMLReader
parser = xml.sax.make_parser()
# turn off namepsaces
parser.setFeature(xml.sax.handler.feature_namespaces, 0)

# override the default ContextHandler
Handler = MovieHandler()
parser.setContentHandler( Handler )

parser.parse("movies.xml")


My xml file look like this:



<collection shelf="New Arrivals">
<movie title="Enemy Behind">
<type>War, Thriller</type>
<format>DVD</format>
self.date = "" <year>2003</year>
<rating>PG</rating>
<stars>10</stars>
<description>Talk about a US-Japan war</description>
</movie>
<movie title="Transformers">
<type>Anime, Science Fiction</type>
<format>DVD</format>
<year>1989</year>
<rating>R</rating>
<stars>8</stars>
<description>A schientific fiction</description>
</movie>
<movie title="Trigun">
<type>Anime, Action</type>
<format>DVD</format>
<episodes>4</episodes>
<rating>PG</rating>
<stars>10</stars>
<description>Vash the Stampede!</description>
</movie>
<movie title="Ishtar">
<type><![CDATA[Neuilly-sur-Seine]]></type>
<format>VHS</format>
<rating>PG</rating>
<stars>2</stars>
<description>Viewable boredom</description>
</movie>
</collection>


At the last tag, I have no information.


How I can solve this problem. Thanks in advance.
