Should be able to read/manipulate any KML using only implemented features #9

Hi,

This is a (low-urgency) wish-list request.

simplekml should be able to parse KML files. It can be limited to the 
implemented subset.

simplekml seems like it might be quite useful for manipulating existing KML 
files. (The specific examples that I want to use is the ones generated by the 
transitfeed package's kmlwriter.py)

Looking at the current reference, it might require quite extensive 
modifications (at least a way to delete anything from the Kml structure) (That 
would allow replacement of objects, eventually full manipulation would be nice)

I have considered this, but it is something might only be implemented far in 
the future.

At least for my current use-case (getting a Google Maps friendly KML out of a 
GTFS feed), generating a new KML seem easier than manipulating transitfeed's 
kmlwriter.py's KML file.

It might be that enough other libraries exist for manipulating KML files, such 
as pykml and libkml.

simplekml will remain a kml generator and I have no plans to implement it as a 
reader, so I am changing this status to WontFix.
