Implementation and Usage Notes

File: parser.py

Implements a wrapper around ElementTree for to simplify access to xml elements for the controllers.py file.

class XMLParser:
    def __init__(self, xmlfile):
        ...

Initialize a parser with the name of the file that has the relevant data. Then the following functions are available:

• getText
• getFloat
• getFloatArray
• getInt
• getIntArray
• getTextArray

Each of these functions takes in as an argument the 'path' to the field, each node separated by a space. For example

neurons = parser.getInt("nengo gravity neurons")
