Hi there!

After the finishing touches took maybe more time than writing the
library, here it is now: pydataportabilty 0.1

pydataportability is work in progress and aims to provide support for
the standards we propose and use in the DataPortability project (plus
maybe some more). Right now it supports parsing hcard and xfn
microformats (esp. hCard is not complete though. Other formats can
easily be added) and XRDS Simple. It returns Python objects which can
be used for further processing.

Everything you need to know can be found on my blog annoncement:

http://mrtopf.de/blog/plone/planetplone/announcing-pydataportability-01-technical/

It's a very first version which means that it's far from complete and
things might change. More stuff will be added shortly and
documentation will also be created (as soon as Google re-enables wiki
editing on their code pages).

For discussion feel free to join the pydataportability Google Group:

Christian, good stuff!

We heavily rely on Plone/Zope here, so I'm interested in seeing how
"DP-enabled" features can be integrated into it.

Also, there's a Python APML library already developed....any thoughts
on including it into your framework?

Cheers,

Tim

Hi!

Just asked him over there to make it an Python egg (package) so I can depend on it to have it installed automatically.
Just need to find out how it might be used within that library which maybe depends on how APML gets used in the DP Project.
