Python representation of XLIFF objects

PyLIFF

PyLIFF provides a pythonic representation of XLIFF 2.0 files.

Currently XLIFF data can only be read. In future versions you will be able to manipulate the XLIFF data and serialize it back to a file.

The PyLIFF class is instantiated with a unicode string, and is parsed using a DOM XML parser.

This means its not currently very efficient for handling very large files or streams.

Installation

Installation can be done via pip for the github repository:

pip install -e git+https://github.com/translate/pyliff

Usage

from pyliff import PyLIFF

XLIFF_EXAMPLE = u"""
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xliff xmlns="urn:oasis:names:tc:xliff:document:2.0"
       version="2.0"
       srcLang="en"
       trgLang="es">
</xliff>
"""

liff = PyLIFF(XLIFF_EXAMPLE)
