10 Description: lxml is a Pythonic, mature binding for the libxml2 and libxslt libraries. It
11 provides safe and convenient access to these libraries using the ElementTree
14 It extends the ElementTree API significantly to offer support for XPath,
15 RelaxNG, XML Schema, XSLT, C14N and much more.
17 To contact the project, go to the `project home page
18 <http://codespeak.net>`_ or see our bug tracker at
19 https://launchpad.net/lxml
21 In case you want to use the current in-development version of lxml, you can
22 get it from the subversion repository at http://codespeak.net/svn/lxml/trunk .
23 Running ``easy_install lxml==dev`` will install it from
24 http://codespeak.net/svn/lxml/trunk#egg=lxml-dev
27 After an official release of a new stable series, bug fixes may become
29 http://codespeak.net/svn/lxml/branch/lxml-2.2 .
30 Running ``easy_install lxml==2.2bugfix`` will install
31 the unreleased branch state from
32 http://codespeak.net/svn/lxml/branch/lxml-2.2#egg=lxml-2.2bugfix
33 as soon as a maintenance branch has been established.
43 * The ``resolve_entities`` option did not work in the incremental feed
46 * Looking up and deleting attributes without a namespace could hit a
47 namespaced attribute of the same name instead.
49 * Late errors during calls to ``SubElement()`` (e.g. attribute related
50 ones) could leave a partially initialised element in the tree.
52 * Modifying trees that contain parsed entity references could result
55 * ObjectifiedElement.__setattr__ created an empty-string child element when the
56 attribute value was rejected as a non-unicode/non-ascii string
58 * Syntax errors in ``lxml.cssselect`` could result in misleading error
61 * Invalid syntax in CSS expressions could lead to an infinite loop in
62 the parser of ``lxml.cssselect``.
64 * CSS special character escapes were not properly handled in
67 * CSS Unicode escapes were not properly decoded in ``lxml.cssselect``.
69 * Select options in HTML forms that had no explicit ``value``
70 attribute were not handled correctly. The HTML standard dictates
71 that their value is defined by their text content. This is now
72 supported by lxml.html.
74 * XPath raised a TypeError when finding CDATA sections. This is now
77 * Calling ``help(lxml.objectify)`` didn't work at the prompt.
79 * The ``ElementMaker`` in lxml.objectify no longer defines the default
80 namespaces when annotation is disabled.
82 * Feed parser failed to honout the 'recover' option on parse errors.
84 * Diverting the error logging to Python's logging system was broken.
