Description: Introduction
        ============
        
        Marshals simple Python data types into a custom XML format.
        The Marshaller and Unmarshaller classes can be subclassed in order
        to implement marshalling into a different XML DTD.
        Original Authors are XML-SIG (xml-sig@python.org).
        
        Fully compatible with PyXML implementation, enable namespace support for
        XML Input/Output.
        
        Implemented with lxml
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        python setup.py install
        
        
        Testing
        =======
        
        python setup.py test
        
        Usage
        =====
        
        For simple serialisation and unserialisation::
        
        
          >>> from xml_marshaller import xml_marshaller
          >>> xml_marshaller.dumps(['item1', {'key1': 1, 'key2': u'unicode string'}])
          '<marshal><list id="i2"><string>item1</string><dictionary id="i3"><string>key1</string><int>1</int><string>key2</string><unicode>unicode string</unicode></dictionary></list></marshal>'
          >>> xml_marshaller.loads(xml_marshaller.dumps(['item1', {'key1': 1, 'key2': u'unicode string'}]))
          ['item1', {'key2': u'unicode string', 'key1': 1}]
        
        Can works with file like objects::
        
        
          >>> from xml_marshaller import xml_marshaller
          >>> from StringIO import StringIO
          >>> file_like_object = StringIO()
          >>> xml_marshaller.dump('Hello World !', file_like_object)
          >>> file_like_object.seek(0)
          >>> file_like_object.read()
          '<marshal><string>Hello World !</string></marshal>'
          >>> file_like_object.seek(0)
          >>> xml_marshaller.load(file_like_object)
          'Hello World !'
        
        xml_marshaller can also output xml with qualified names::
        
        
          >>> from xml_marshaller import xml_marshaller
          >>> xml_marshaller.dumps_ns('Hello World !')
          '<marshal:marshal xmlns:marshal="http://www.erp5.org/namespaces/marshaller"><marshal:string>Hello World !</marshal:string></marshal:marshal>'
        
        
        You can also use your own URI::
        
          >>> from xml_marshaller.xml_marshaller import Marshaller
          >>> marshaller = Marshaller(namespace_uri='http://my-custom-namespace-uri/namespace')
          >>> marshaller.dumps('Hello World !')
          '<marshal:marshal xmlns:marshal="http://my-custom-namespace-uri/namespace"><marshal:string>Hello World !</marshal:string></marshal:marshal>'
