=============== ToDo's for lxml =============== lxml ==== Exposing libxml2 functionalities -------------------------------- * Test XML entities, also in an ElementTree context. In general ---------- * test namespaces more in-depth * more testing on multi-threading * better exception messages for XPath and schemas based on error log, e.g. missing namespace mappings in XPath ElementTree ----------- * _setroot(), even though this is not strictly a public method. QName ----- * expose prefix support? Objectify --------- * emulate setting special __attributes__ on ObjectifiedElement's as Python attributes, not XML children Features -------- * RelaxNG compact notation (rnc versus rng) support. Currently not supported by libxml2 (patch exists) lxml 2.0 ======== * always use '' as URL when tree was parsed from string? (can libxml2 handle this?) * clean up (and remove?) duplicated API for extension functions * remove first 'context' argument from extension functions * always use ns-prefixed type names in objectify's ``xsi:type`` attributes * follow PEP 8 in API naming (avoidCamelCase in_favour_of_underscores) * clean support for entities (is the Entity element class enough?)
