[OWSLib-devel] [OWSLib-users] Fwd: Call for OWS Common Server Python base

[Jorge de Jesus]

Hi Ricardo

I personally gave a look at pyxb and another schema parser and got a bit
disappointed, things weren't very clear on how to access contents, then
some parsing weren't working problem also pyxb uses DOM as a parser and
to access the objects. DOM is out of the question for production code.


Nevertheless, I belive that schema parsing --> python objects is the way
to go, one project that uses in a very sucefull way is wps-grass-bridge

http://code.google.com/p/wps-grass-bridge/


Soeren made an excellent job there :)))) and I've use it to study pyxb

Cheers
Jorge

OGC schemas and seems to work really nicely from my tests. It can be used to facilitate the generation of the response XML documents. Do you think we could investigate if using this library will be a good thing here as well? We'll speak more about it from the 24th onwards.
