Package gavo :: Package votable :: Module tablewriter

Module tablewriter

Writing tabular data within VOTables.

Classes
	OverflowElement A container for VOTable elements that are written when it is likely that a query has overflowed the limit.

Functions

write(root, outputFile, xmlDecl=True)
writes a VOTable to outputFile.

source code

asString(root, xmlDecl=False)
returns the V.VOTABLE root as a string.

source code

DelayedTable(tableDefinition, rowIterator, contentElement, overflowElement=None, **attrs)
returns tableDefinition such that when serialized, it contains the data from rowIterator

source code

Variables
	__package__ = `'gavo.votable'`

Function Details

write(root, outputFile, xmlDecl=True)

source code

writes a VOTable to outputFile.

This is a compatiblity function that's in this place mainly for historical reasons. It's basically stanxml.write, except that the prefix of the root element will be the empty prefix.

DelayedTable(tableDefinition, rowIterator, contentElement, overflowElement=None, **attrs)

source code

returns tableDefinition such that when serialized, it contains the data from rowIterator

rowIterator is an iterator yielding all rows from the table to be encoded, tableDefinition is the TABLE element, and ContentElement is one of the permitted DATA children from VOTable.

See the OverflowElement class for overflowElement.

attrs are optional attributes to the content element.
