i'm new here. I'm trying to generate an xml that looks exactly like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<XML type="formats" version="4">
<format type="format" uid="BEAUTY:MasterBeauty">
<type>video</type>
<channelsDepth type="uint">16</channelsDepth>
<channelsEncoding type="string">Float</channelsEncoding>
<channelsEndianess type="string">Little Endian</channelsEndianess>
<fieldDominance type="int">2</fieldDominance>
<height type="uint">1080</height>
<nbChannels type="uint">4</nbChannels>
<pixelLayout type="string">ABGR</pixelLayout>
<pixelRatio type="float">1</pixelRatio>
<rowOrdering type="string">up</rowOrdering>
<width type="uint">1920</width>
</format>
</XML>
It's part of a VFX nodal workflow script ensemble and this file is part of a "read media" node. I've spent the whole week looking at many different things but can't find anything close to this. I picked lxml for the pretty print thing. I was able to generate a bunch of other simpler (to me) xml files but for this one, I gotta say … i'm lost. Complete fail so far! Could someone kindly shed a light on this please?
MY QUESTIONS: - is lxml appropriate for this? - if no, what is a better choice? (i did look for ElementTree example, no luck!) - if yes, where do i start? Could someone share a piece a code to get me started?
What i could create so far was things like this one:
import os, sys
import lxml.etree
import lxml.builder as lb
from lxml import etree
E = lxml.builder.ElementMaker()
Setup = E.Setup
Base = E.Base
Version = E.Version
Note = E.Note
Expanded = E.Expanded
ScrollBar = E.ScrollBar
Frames = E.Frames
Current_Time = E.Current_Time
Input_DataType = E.Input_DataType
ClampMode = E.ClampMode
AdapDegrad = E.AdapDegrad
UsedAsTransition = E.UsedAsTransition
State = E.State
root_node = Setup(
Base(
Version('12.030000'),
Note(''),
Expanded('False'),
ScrollBar('0'),
Frames('0'),
Current_Time('1'),
Input_DataType('3'),
ClampMode('0'),
AdapDegrad('False'),
UsedAsTransition('False')
),
State(),
)
print lxml.etree.tostring(root_node, pretty_print=True)
str = etree.tostring(root_node, pretty_print=True)
myXMLfile = open('/Users/stefan/XenDRIVE/___DEV/PYTHON/Create_xlm/create_Batch_xml_setups/result/xml_result/root.root_node.xml', 'w')
myXMLfile.write(str)
myXMLfile.close()
Hope those are "acceptable" questions. Thank you in advance for any help.
