ToDo's for lxml

===============

lxml

====

In general

----------

* libxml2 2.14:

disableSAX -> xmlCtxtIsStopped

replaceEntities -> XML_PARSE_NOENT

progressive (unbenutzt)

node -> nicht mehr deprecated aber Benutzung unerwünscht

* more testing on multi-threading

* better exception messages for XPath and schemas based on error log,

e.g. missing namespace mappings in XPath

* when building statically, compile everything into one shared library

instead of one for lxml.etree and one for lxml.objectify to prevent

the redundant static linking of the library dependencies.

* more testing on input/output of encoded filenames, including custom

resolvers, relative XSLT imports, ...

* always use '<string>' as URL when tree was parsed from string? (can libxml2

handle this?)

* follow PEP 8 in API naming (avoidCamelCase in_favour_of_underscores)

* use per-call or per-thread error logs in XSLT/XPath/etc. to keep the

messages separate, especially in exceptions

* add 'nsmap' parameter to cleanup_namespaces()

* fix tail text handling in addnext()/addprevious()

* make Element nsmap editable to allow defining new namespaces (LP#555602)

Entities

--------

* clean support for entities (is the Entity element class enough?)

Objectify

---------

* emulate setting special __attributes__ on ObjectifiedElement's as Python

attributes, not XML children

Incremental parsing

-------------------

* create all iterparse events only on start events and

store the end events in the stack

* rewrite SAX event creation in a more C-ish way to avoid having to

acquire the GIL on each event
