WURFL and Python

by Armand Lynch (lyncha at users dot sourceforge dot net)

pywurfl is a Python language package that makes dealing with the WURFL in Python a little easier. It contains tools that allow you to retrieve objects that represent devices defined in the WURFL or manipulate the WURFL device hierarchy by using a simple set of API functions or a pywurfl specific query language. Also included within the package is a WURFL processor class that provides an event based API that can be used to alleviate some of the work when processing the WURFL sequentially.
