	~~<blockquote>Hello,~~
	~~I hope this list is the correct one for this kind of question:~~
	~~Has anyone managed to get http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/PythonEffectTutorial to work without major changes? It failed for me both on a gentoo system and on a pretty vanilla Ubuntu 8.04 box.~~ I ~~don't~~ know if I will find the time to edit the wiki page according to the current lxml behaviour, but I might give it a try. Additionally Ishmal(I think) said on irc/jabber that lxml might not be used in the future anymore anyway.

	~~Now for the list~~ of ~~problems I encountered:~~
	* Simply making the file executable and putting it into ~/.inkscape/extensions/ is not sufficient, it ~~won't find inkex there, but no problem, simply add~~
	~~import sys~~
	~~sys.path.append('/usr/share/inkscape/extensions') # or another path, as appropriate for your installation~~
	~~to the top of it. A minor problem.~~
	* All the getElementsByTagName, getAttribute, createElement,... methods are unknown to lxml, at least in the versions here (1.3.6). Inkscape returns the python error message ending with:
	~~File "/home/dhornun/.inkscape/extensions/helloworld.py", line 32, in effect~~
	~~svg = self.document.getElementsByTagName('svg')[0]~~
	~~AttributeError: 'etree._ElementTree' object has no attribute 'getElementsByTagName'~~
	~~If this is not~~ a ~~problem on the distributions' side, those can probably be fixed by adapting the code to reflect lxml's~~ current ~~API.~~
	~~</blockquote>~~
	~~Hopefully I'll find the time to fix this either on my machine or here in the wiki. The first point was fixed already~~. --[[User:Rubikcube\|Rubikcube]] 07:32, ~~30 July~~ 2008 (UTC)

Tutorial still valid for current lxml?

New page
