深入 Python从 Python 新手到专家 |
接下来的两章是关于在 Python 中处理 XML 的。如果您已经了解 XML 文档的外观,知道它是由结构化标签组成以形成元素层次结构等等,这将对您有所帮助。如果您对此感到困惑,可以参考许多 XML 教程 来解释基础知识。
即使您对 XML 不感兴趣,也应该阅读这些章节,因为它们涵盖了 Python 包、Unicode、命令行参数以及如何使用 getattr 进行方法分派等重要主题。
学习哲学专业不是必需的,但如果您曾经不幸地接触过伊曼努尔·康德的著作,那么您会比那些主修计算机科学等有用专业的人更能理解这个示例程序。
使用 XML 有两种基本方法。一种称为 SAX(“XML 简单 API”),它的工作原理是一次读取一小部分 XML,并在找到每个元素时调用一个方法。(如果您阅读了 第 8 章,HTML 处理,这听起来应该很熟悉,因为这就是 sgmllib 模块的工作方式。)另一种称为 DOM(“文档对象模型”),它的工作原理是一次性读取整个 XML 文档,并使用以树形结构链接的原生 Python 类创建其内部表示。 Python 具有用于这两种解析类型的标准模块,但本章只讨论如何使用 DOM。
以下是一个完整的 Python 程序,它根据以 XML 格式定义的上下文无关语法生成伪随机输出。如果您还不理解这意味着什么,请不要担心;在接下来的两章中,您将更深入地研究程序的输入和输出。

单独运行程序 kgp.py,它将解析默认的基于 XML 的语法(位于 kant.xml 中),并以伊曼努尔·康德的风格打印几段哲学内容。
[you@localhost kgp]$ python kgp.py
As is shown in the writings of Hume, our a priori concepts, in
reference to ends, abstract from all content of knowledge; in the study
of space, the discipline of human reason, in accordance with the
principles of philosophy, is the clue to the discovery of the
Transcendental Deduction. The transcendental aesthetic, in all
theoretical sciences, occupies part of the sphere of human reason
concerning the existence of our ideas in general; still, the
never-ending regress in the series of empirical conditions constitutes
the whole content for the transcendental unity of apperception. What
we have alone been able to show is that, even as this relates to the
architectonic of human reason, the Ideal may not contradict itself, but
it is still possible that it may be in contradictions with the
employment of the pure employment of our hypothetical judgements, but
natural causes (and I assert that this is the case) prove the validity
of the discipline of pure reason. As we have already seen, time (and
it is obvious that this is true) proves the validity of time, and the
architectonic of human reason, in the full sense of these terms,
abstracts from all content of knowledge. I assert, in the case of the
discipline of practical reason, that the Antinomies are just as
necessary as natural causes, since knowledge of the phenomena is a
posteriori.
The discipline of human reason, as I have elsewhere shown, is by
its very nature contradictory, but our ideas exclude the possibility of
the Antinomies. We can deduce that, on the contrary, the pure
employment of philosophy, on the contrary, is by its very nature
contradictory, but our sense perceptions are a representation of, in
the case of space, metaphysics. The thing in itself is a
representation of philosophy. Applied logic is the clue to the
discovery of natural causes. However, what we have alone been able to
show is that our ideas, in other words, should only be used as a canon
for the Ideal, because of our necessary ignorance of the conditions.

当然,这完全是胡言乱语。好吧,也不完全是胡言乱语。它在语法上是正确(尽管非常冗长——康德不是那种开门见山的人)。其中一些内容实际上可能是正确的(或者至少是康德会同意的观点),一些内容是明显错误的,而大多数内容只是不连贯的。但所有这些都是伊曼努尔·康德的风格。
让我再说一遍,如果您现在是或曾经是哲学专业的学生,这会更加有趣。
这个程序有趣的地方在于它与康德无关。上一个示例中的所有内容都来自语法文件 kant.xml。如果您告诉程序使用不同的语法文件(您可以在命令行中指定),则输出将完全不同。
[you@localhost kgp]$ python kgp.py -g binary.xml 00101001 [you@localhost kgp]$ python kgp.py -g binary.xml 10110100
您将在本章稍后更详细地了解语法文件的结构。现在,您只需要知道语法文件定义了输出的结构,而 kgp.py 程序会读取语法并随机决定在何处插入哪些单词。
