Convert xml to python dictionaries, and vice-versa.
pip install xmldict
On most of the systems, you will need the sudo permissions if you are doing a system wide
install.
sudo pip install xmldict
# Converting xml to dictionary
>>> xmldict.xml_to_dict('''
... <root>
... <persons>
... <person>
... <name first="foo" last="bar" />
... </person>
... <person>
... <name first="baz" last="bar" />
... </person>
... </persons>
... </root>
... ''')
{'root': {'persons': {'person': [{'name': {'last': 'bar', 'first': 'foo'}}, {'name': {'last': 'bar', 'first': 'baz'}}]}}}
# Converting dictionary to xml
>>> xmldict.dict_to_xml({'root': {'persons': {'person': [{'name': {'last': 'bar', 'first': 'foo'}}, {'name': {'last': 'bar', 'first': 'baz'}}]}}})
'<root><persons><person><name><last>bar</last><first>foo</first></name></person><person><name><last>bar</last><first>baz</first></name></person></persons></root>'
