pyKML is a Python package for creating, parsing, manipulating, and validating KML documents.
License: BSD 3-Clause "New" or "Revised" License
PyKML is a Python package for authoring, parsing, and manipulating KML documents. It is based on the lxml library (http://codespeak.net/lxml/) which provides a Python API for working with XML documents.
How to best bridge between geometries in the many python geo libraries? e.g.
shapely, gdal-py, geodjango, geoalchemy, etc
It would be great to have examples of how to go between each of these and a
PyKML.

[deleted issue]
Use some xml tool to better localize problems with a document not matching a
schema.
Ugly solution... call xmllint command line program. Yuck
Better would be to figure out how to call something from lxml or libxml2.
Would be best to use lxml if at all possible to keep the dependencies down.
Additionally, is it possible to validate fragments of kml?

There haven't been any changes to the pyKML inside of Google since Sept 2020. However, in case something was not contributed upstream that should be, here is a snapshot. I think the only thing that is not already here are the tests in simple_test.py. There were some XSD schema changes that are not useful to the general community.

Could you avoid using setuptools for the setup script? distutils is the
preferred module for this, and it's included in the stdlib. Not worth using
setuptools just for the lxml dependency, I'd think.

#Create an xpath expression to search for all desired cdata elements
xpath = '|'.join(map(lambda tag: '//kml:' + tag, cdata_elements))

What steps will reproduce the problem?
It may be possible to leak local files or make network requests when processing
a malicious document, per
https://www.owasp.org/index.php/XML_External_Entity_%28XXE%29_Processing
The default options to the lxml parser are not suitable for use on untrusted
inputs, and pykml.parser does not expose them for reconfiguration.
See PoC/example below.
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
parser.parse() should probably default to using a lxml.Parser instance with
resolve_entities=False (and maybe no_network=True) to avoid malicious entity
expansion.
http://lxml.de/parsing.html#parser-options details the available options.
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OSX 10.9.1
Python 2.7.6 (MacPorts)
pykml==0.1.0
Please provide any additional information below.
# Simple PoC from OWASP sample document.
from lxml import etree
from pykml import parser
doc = parser.fromstring('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>'
'<!DOCTYPE foo [ <!ELEMENT foo ANY > '
'<!ENTITY xxe SYSTEM "file:///etc/passwd" >]>'
'<foo>&xxe;</foo>')
print etree.tostring(doc, pretty_print=True)
---
Mitigation:
I'm unaware of any KML documents that actually use entities, so just modifying
the parse/fromstring functions to use a parser with expand_entities disabled
may be sufficient.
An alternative may be to add new methods parse_safe() or add additional
optional kwargs to the existing methods to allow users to provide their own
Parser object, or set options on it.
If anything other than the first option, the docs should be updated with a
prominent warning about the risks of handling untrusted input without
precautions.
An example kml input that also passes kml22gx.xsd schema validation is attached.

Currently pyKML only validates against schemas documents that are stored
locally. It would be easier to keep up with schema definition changes if pyKML
could validate against a remote schema accessible via a URL.

Work through a KML tour document, adding comments that state the time relative
to the start of the tour.
Original issue reported on code.google.com by [email protected] on 2 Aug 2011 at 9:28
What steps will reproduce the problem?
Parse some KML with <![CDATA[]]> without using a schema: parser.parse(f,
schema=None)
When writing the document back out to file, CDATA sections are lost, and all
characters are converted to HTML entities.
This doesn't happen when parsing with schema validation.
Can be rectified by modifying line 55+ of parse.py to this:
# without validation
parser = objectify.makeparser(strip_cdata=False)
return objectify.parse(fileobject, parser=parser)
