    copied!<p>A few years ago I wrote a simplistic GEDCOM to XML translator in Python as part of a <a href="http://hewgill.com/journal/entries/277-genealogy" rel="noreferrer">larger project</a>. I found that dealing with the GEDCOM data in an XML format was much easier (especially when the next step involved XSLT).</p> <p>I don't have the code online at the moment, so I've pasted the module into this message. This works for me; no guarantees. Hope this helps though.</p> <pre><code>import codecs, os, re, sys from xml.sax.saxutils import escape fn = sys.argv[1] ged = codecs.open(fn, encoding="cp437") xml = codecs.open(fn+".xml", "w", "utf8") xml.write("""&lt;?xml version="1.0"?&gt;\n""") xml.write("&lt;gedcom&gt;") sub = [] for s in ged: s = s.strip() m = re.match(r"(\d+) (@(\w+)@ )?(\w+)( (.*))?", s) if m is None: print "Error: unmatched line:", s level = int(m.group(1)) id = m.group(3) tag = m.group(4) data = m.group(6) while len(sub) &gt; level: xml.write("&lt;/%s&gt;\n" % (sub[-1])) sub.pop() if level != len(sub): print "Error: unexpected level:", s sub += [tag] if id is not None: xml.write("&lt;%s id=\"%s\"&gt;" % (tag, id)) else: xml.write("&lt;%s&gt;" % (tag)) if data is not None: m = re.match(r"@(\w+)@", data) if m: xml.write(m.group(1)) elif tag == "NAME": m = re.match(r"(.*?)/(.*?)/$", data) if m: xml.write("&lt;forename&gt;%s&lt;/forename&gt;&lt;surname&gt;%s&lt;/surname&gt;" % (escape(m.group(1).strip()), escape(m.group(2)))) else: xml.write(escape(data)) elif tag == "DATE": m = re.match(r"(((\d+)?\s+)?(\w+)?\s+)?(\d{3,})", data) if m: if m.group(3) is not None: xml.write("&lt;day&gt;%s&lt;/day&gt;&lt;month&gt;%s&lt;/month&gt;&lt;year&gt;%s&lt;/year&gt;" % (m.group(3), m.group(4), m.group(5))) elif m.group(4) is not None: xml.write("&lt;month&gt;%s&lt;/month&gt;&lt;year&gt;%s&lt;/year&gt;" % (m.group(4), m.group(5))) else: xml.write("&lt;year&gt;%s&lt;/year&gt;" % m.group(5)) else: xml.write(escape(data)) else: xml.write(escape(data)) while len(sub) &gt; 0: xml.write("&lt;/%s&gt;" % sub[-1]) sub.pop() xml.write("&lt;/gedcom&gt;\n") ged.close() xml.close() </code></pre>
