Installing XMLObject

XMLObject is a project in two parts. The XMLObject module is used at run-time to parse XML files. The XMLObjApp application gives you the programmer an easy and convenient way to create parsers for the XML files you will need to parse.

This may sound a bit confusing, but keep reading. It will all make sense. The important thing to note at this point is that you will need both the module and the application while writing your code, but once your coding is complete, you will only need the XMLObject module. If you are creating a distribution, only the XMLObject module need be included, not the XMLObjApp application.

XMLObject Module

XMLObject may be installed from source or, for Windows users, with a binary installer.

Source install:

$ tar -xzf XMLObject-X.X.tgz
$ cd XMLObj/XMLObject
$ su
# python setup.py install

Binary install (Windows):

Simply double-click on XMLObject-X.X.win32.exe and follow the on-screen guide.

XMLObjApp Application

XMLObjApp may be installed from source or, for Windows users, with a binary installer.

Source install:

To run the source version of XMLObjApp, you will need to have wxPython installed.

$ cd XMLObj/XMLObjApp
$ pythonw XMLObjApp.pyw

Note

XMLObjApp has not yet been tested in Linux. Please contact the program author about the state of this debug.

Binary install (Windows):

Simply double-click on XMLObjApp-X.X.setup.exe and follow the on-screen guide. This will install the application on the start menu, and optionally, on the desktop.
