I agree.
I'm also (slowly) working toward some Python-based org processing. My
strategy is to produce an intermediate file in JSON format which is
designed to capture the full org document structure. I am calling this
a "shunt" export as it is meant to do as little interpretation of the
document as possible.
If this is interesting to you and you haven't already seen it please
check the thread from December were I got a lot of help to output this
JSON via the new org export mechanism (I'm a LISP newbie). Here is the
concluding post with a working example:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/79838
Besides any eventual Python-side development, one remaining gap in my
plan is how to produce some kind of schema description using the org
exporter machinery. I want to have this description generated
automatically so that any future changes to the org format can be
accommodated with some level of automation.
So, my current thinking is to find a way to exploit org export machinery
to generate this schema (call it a "meta-shunt" export?). If I can find
that I'll output it as another JSON file. Then, on the Python-side, I
will read this schema file in and generate instances of
collections.namedtuple. Finally a reader of the JSON org document will
be developed to produce objects of these namedtuple classes.
At the end of the day one will have a DOM-style data structure
representing the initial org document.
-Brett.
