SYNOPSIS

pyxbgen [command] [[options]] [[more schema locations...]]

DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the pyxbgen command.
 

This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.
 

pyxbgen is a program that generates Python bindings from XML schema files or WSDL input.
 

Generic Options

--version

Show program’s version number and exit.
 

--help

Show help message and exit.
 

Identifying Schema

Specify and locate schema for which bindings should be generated.

-u FILE_or_URL --schema-location=FILE_or_URL

Add the location of an entrypoint schema. The provided value should be a URL. If it does not have a URL scheme (e.g., http:), it is assumed to be a file, and if it is not an absolute path is located relative to the schemaRoot.
 

--schema-root=DIRECTORY

The directory from which entrypoint schemas specified as relative file paths will be read.
 

--schema-stripped-prefix=TEXT

Optional string that is stripped from the beginning of schemaLocation values before loading from them. This applies only to the values of schemaLocation attributes in import and include elements. Its purpose is to convert absolute schema locations into relative ones to allow offline processing when all schema are available in a local directory. See schemaRoot.
 

--location-prefix-rewrite=TEXT

Add a rewrite entry for schema locations. Parameter values are strings of the form pfx=sub. The effect is that a schema location that begins with pfx is rewritten so that it instead begins with sub.
 

--uri-content-archive-directory=DIRECTORY

The directory path into which any content retrieved by URI will be written. This serves as a local cache, and to give you an opportunity to inspect material retrieved from some other system.
 

Configuring Bindings

Specify where generated bindings should be written, and how they will be accessed from Python.
 

-m MODULE --module=MODULE

Add a module name corresponding to an entrypoint schema. The namespace defined by the corresponding schema will be written to a binding using the given module name, adjusted by modulePrefix.
 

--module-prefix=MODULE

The prefix for binding modules. The base name for the module holding a binding is taken from the moduleList, moduleMap, or an XMLNS prefix associated with the namespace in a containing schema. This value, if present, is used as a prefix to allow a deeper module hierarchy.
 

--binding-root=DIRECTORY

The directory path into which generated bindings will be written.
 

--write-for-customization

Indicates whether the binding Python code should be written into a sub-module for customization. If enabled, a module path.to.namespace will be written to the file path/to/raw/namespace.py, so that the file path/to/namespace.py can import it and override behavior. This option turns on the feature.
 

--no-write-for-customization

Indicates whether the binding Python code should be written into a sub- module for customization. If enabled, a module path.to.namespace will be written to the file path/to/raw/namespace.py, so that the file path/to/namespace.py can import it and override behavior. This option turns off the feature (default).
