Octave structured output

[Camilo Lopez]

Hello list,

I'm trying to  write a python application that can interact with octave. I've 
been able  -using pexpect - to start an octave session and to send commands 
to it. I can also recieve the "raw" output from octave , but It is really 
hard to work whit, for instance my program will have to guess the datatype of 
every  response from octave.

Is there any way to get structured ( xml, yaml, whatever markup format) output 
from octave?.

Thanks in advance
