pulltree.writer not using short-tag output style

Ryan Tomayko — Wed, 29 Dec 2004 14:45:06 -0000

Kid 0.3 is outputting elements which are written as <img/> in the
source as <img></img> in the output, whereas 0.2 kept the
closing tag style.

kid:content doesn't handle elementtree.Element properly

Email from Ross Burton:

I'm guessing that returning an elementtree.Element from a kid:
content should do the right thing and serialize the element into the
output:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<?kid
# RAWK - RSS to gallery HTML generator
def foo():
from elementtree import ElementTree
root = ElementTree.Element("{http://www.w3.org/1999/
xhtml}br")
return root
?>
...
<div kid:content="foo()"/>

Should result in a <div><br/></div>

However, I get this:

$ kid rss2galleryhtml.kid index.rss > index.html
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/users/ross/bin/BUILD/bin/kid", line 67, in ?

File "/home/users/ross/bin/BUILD/bin/kid", line 64, in main
kid.expand_template(f, name='__kid_main__', output=out)
File "/home/users/ross/bin/BUILD/lib/python2.3/site-packages/
kid/__init__.py", line 93, in expand_template
pulltree.write(stream, out)

pulltree.py", line 149, in write

File "/home/users/ross/bin/BUILD/lib/python2.3/site-packages/
pulltree.py", line 178, in serialize
qname = item.qname(tag, default=1)
AttributeError: _ElementInterface instance has no attribute 'qname'

It appears to be trying but not succeeding. I hoped that adding the
URI to the Element constructor would have done the right thing,
but obviously not. Is this another bug in my code, or in Kid?

Escaping { and }

The language spec does not specify what to do with
attribute values that contain literal brace characters;
i.e. that are not intended to be interpreted as
attribute value templates. There needs to be some
escaping mechanism: backslashes, double braces,
something. Perhaps it already exists and just needs to
be documented.
