Hello
I need to create an xml document from existing python classes and the generated xml document must be compliant with an XML schema.
I am not familiar with lxml nor with ElementTree in python!..
I have gone throught the documentation and cannot find out how to incorporate a complex type element in the tree.
Here is an exercise python code which I use as an exercise.
Any Help would be welcomed.

from lxml import etree class Model: def __init__(self, name, piecesdict): self.name = name self.piecesdic = piecesdict def to_XML(self): root = etree.Element("model") for key, piece in self.piecesdic.items(): piecelement = piece.to_XML(root) root.append(piecelement) return root class Piece: def __init__(self, name, rows): self.name = name self.rows = rows def to_XML(self, father): element = etree.SubElement(father, 'piece', {'name': self.name, 'rows': str(self.rows)}) return element piece1 = Piece('manche', 54) piece2 = Piece('devant', 30) dict = {piece.name: piece for piece in (piece1, piece2)} mymodel = Model('mymodel', dict) xml = mymodel.to_XML() print(etree.tostring(xml, pretty_print=True))This produces an xml document but the piece element is not a complex type as required in the XML schema.
Any Help would be welcomed.
