[Pywps-dev] Fetching of POST data

[Calin Ciociu]

Hello everyone,


Currently going through get_input_from_xml and was looking at the 
fetching of the complex data.
StringIO is used for this purpose and I don't understand the idea behind it.

The tests are also taking this in consideration and take the MultiDict 
with the StringIO of the complex data XML and do some assertions based 
on the tags after the parsing of the StringIO and getting an ElementTree.


Isn't a Dictionary good enough for this purpose?
And for what purpose does the MultiDict have to have the XML of the 
complex data and not only the actual data of the complex data?


I was thinking of just doing a Dictionary inside a Dictionary for this 
matter.
Something along the lines of:

data = {}

complex_data = {}
complex_data['mimetype'] = 'text/foo'
complex_data['value'] = ...lot of complex data...

data['output1'] = complex_data
