I search a lib who can export/save map in tmx format with python3. I found:

PyTMX but, doc says:

Finally, there is no save feature. Once the map is loaded, it will be up to you to provide a way to save changes to the map. I've used the pickle module with good results.

tmxlib where doc says:

Saving is equally easy:

>>> map.save('saved.tmx')
>>> map_as_string = map.dump()

But pip installation fail (python3):

pip install tmxlib
Downloading/unpacking tmxlib

Cleaning up...

Do you know tmx libraries can do that, or a way to install tmxlib ?

  • `IndexError: list index out of range` Sounds like a problem in the library itself. I would recommend filing an issue in the library's bug tracker. – thefourtheye May 23 '15 at 09:47
  • Good idea. But i don't found athor email or tracker for this project. Do you ? – bux May 23 '15 at 12:05

I have installed the same library right now with python3 successfully using pip. If pip install is not working for you then:

  1. Download the zip package from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tmxlib/0.2.1
  2. Extract the above package.
  3. In the extracted directory there is a script "setup.py"

  4. Run this script via terminal by giving command

    python setup.py install

It will work hopefully. Also I think the library is fine..may be there is a bug in your version of pip instead.

Available other tmx lib: http://pythonhosted.org/tmx/ (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/tmx . This can load and save.
