Python library for editing XML preserving formatting and comments -
i need make few changes existing xml files, while preserving formatting , comments - except minor changes should untouched. i've tried xml.etree , lxml.etree no success.
the xml generated ide, editor lacking in functionality, have make few manual changes. want keep formatting diffs pretty , not polluting history.
with multitude of python xml libraries thought i'd ask here if has done similar.
how many , kind of changes need make? sounds me may better served using standalone xml editor (just google them, there lots). frankly, i'm kind of surprised ide doesn't have adequate search-and-replace needs. (most of ones i've seen have regex facilities this.) if need write program make xml changes, , don't want mess formatting , comments, best bet may open xml regular text file in python, , use regular expression library (import re
) search-and-replace.
