foo.Namespace.setPrefix('') gives wrong result #66

Closed nowox closed 7 years ago

nowox commented 8 years ago

I would like to get rid of the ns1 prefix so I set the prefix to an empty string. Instead of removing the prefix completely, pyxb adds empty prefixes: 

 <:foo></:foo>

That would be undefined behavior. To remove the prefix give your document a default namespace.

import myns
import pyxb.utils.domutils
pyxb.utils.domutils.BindingDOMSupport.SetDefaultNamespace(myns.Namespace)

Good to learn that. It would be nice to find it on the documentation.

Resolution would be that PyXB should reject the attempt to set an empty string prefix.
