If you can handle xml with python read please

[gsiliceo]

Hi, i want to export my rhythmbox ratings to itunes, i know is possible to do it with a python script because there is already one that goes the other way (importing itunes ratings in rhythmbox).


We'll if anybody can help me with this, i've attached what i've got done so far, its a modification of the original script mentioned above, but is not working.

I attack two small samples of both xmls files.

I post here because im frustrated after 4 days of tinkering with this thing, i've tried several tools to manage xml.

And i don't really want to lose 2 years of ratings just because rhythmbox can't write them to an ipod.

did you tried ElementTree to parse XML? Since 2.5 is in core modules, if not- easy to install.

FOr generating XML, I learned kid templating a while ago and am 100% happy.

THank you that regex command works wonders and since this is a one time thing i don't need to learn complicated libraries to correctly parse my xml.

I feel stupid i didnt needed to learn all this to export my ratings to itunes i fact i discovered a programming-less metod to export ratings from any media player to any media player.
Simply create m3u playlists with itumes with 5 stars then one with 4 stars and so on.
Then import and click the raiting on them ha!
Thanks anyway
