Reading an XML file in Python is pretty easy. I have several tutorials on the subject that might help you:

I prefer the lxml module, but element tree is easy to use too. In wxPython, you can use wx.media to play music. It’s a fairly limited widget, but it does have the basics. Here’s a tutorial on that too:

There is a custom mplayer widget, however I’m not sure that it is still maintained. I thought it was more robust for playing media, but it could be a bit painful to set up:

You’ll have to play around with those and see if they really accomplish what you want. If not, you might want to check this out too:

Good luck and welcome to Python!

For playing music, I’ve had good success with wx.MediaCtrl.

Did you any looking at all? The first Google hit for "lxml" is the
project's web site at lxml.de, which includes several tutorials.

You should also look at the ElementTree link from his original message.
You may find that easier going.

It may be that you're expecting something very easy. The XML tools he's
showing do make XML handling easier, but because XML is so flexible, the
results are still a bit daunting. Remember, these tools take an XML
file and convert it into a tree of Python objects. It's still up to you
to handle the Python objects. The objects reflect the structure of the
XML file. So, for example, if your top-level object is a <library> tag,
and it contains a series of <album> tags, each of which contains <song>
tags, then that's how you'd process it. The XML parsing process will
return a top-level object, which is the "library" object. You will loop
through each of its children, which will be the "album" objects. Then
you will loop through each of THEIR children, which will be the "song"
objects.

You could code your UI manually with wxPython, e.g. wx.lib.sized_controls makes this quit easy.
http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/lib.sized_controls.html

UI designers for wxPython of the top of my head:
- Boa - http://boa-constructor.sourceforge.net/
- Boa fork which is a bit more up to date then above - https://bitbucket.org/cwt/boa-constructor
- wxGlade - http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/
- wxFormBuilder - http://sourceforge.net/projects/wxformbuilder/

Hi,

i got stucked again in xml parsing ,here is my xml example:

<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> 11414 428467 S 11:00:00 TRACK 29 SINGLE , 428467.aac 00:02:06 -6 db 11414 428487 S 11:02:07 TRACK 57 SINGLE , 428487.aac 00:01:44 -6 db 11414 428447 S 11:03:52 TRACK 06 SINGLE , 428447.aac 00:07:27 -6 db 11414 428454 S 11:11:20 TRACK 14 SINGLE , 428454.aac 00:02:10 -6 db 11414 428453 S 11:13:31 TRACK 13 SINGLE , 428453.aac 00:02:52 -6 db

From this xml i am trying to fetch the “AIRTIME” by comparing the current time…i need only one AIRTIME to move further and also i have a complication that my player has to play one by one… based on this xml sheet.how can i do this…???pls help me regarding this

Here is the code ::

import wx
import datetime
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
now = datetime.datetime.now()
td = now.strftime(“%d-%m-%Y”)
tm = now.strftime(“%H:%m-%S”)
path = ‘C:/Users/dheeraj/Desktop/’
np = ‘’.join([path, td,‘.xml’])
tree = ET.parse(np)
root = tree.getroot()
for Airtime in root.iter(“Airtime”):
if Airtime <= tm:
print “@@”, tm

output:

question, or an xml question. Having said that, if you change
print "@@", tm
to
print "@@", Airtime
you will probably get more interesting output.

This question has nothing to do with wxPython, it is a general python
