Question

我正在使用Python＆amp; lxml，我遇到了错误

我的代码

>>>import urllib
>>>from lxml import html

>>>response = urllib.urlopen('http://www.edmunds.com/dealerships/Texas/Grapevine/GrapevineFordLincoln_1/fullservice-505318162.html').read()
>>>dom = html.fromstring(response)

>>>dom.xpath("//div[@class='description item vcard']")[0].xpath(".//p[@class='service-review-paragraph loose-spacing']")[0].text_content()

回溯

UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0x93 in position 477: invalid start byte

问题是我提取的div中存在的特殊字符。如何编码/解码文本而不丢失任何数据？

Answer 1

解析器假设这是一个utf-8文件，但事实并非如此。最简单的方法是首先通过了解页面的编码将其转换为unicode

>>> url =  urllib.urlopen('http://www.edmunds.com/dealerships/Texas/Grapevine/GrapevineFordLincoln_1/fullservice-505318162.html')
>>> url.headers.get('content-type')
'text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1'

>>> response = url.read()
#let's convert to unicode first
>>> response_unicode = codecs.decode(response, 'ISO-8859-1')
>>> dom = html.fromstring(response_unicode)
#and now...
>>> dom.xpath("//div[@class='description item vcard']")[0].xpath(".//p[@class='service-review-paragraph loose-spacing']")[0].text_content()

所以看起来页面已损坏。它指定了UTF-8编码，但在该编码中无效。

urlopen(...).read()返回一个字节字符串（str）。当您将其提供给lxml时，它会尝试使用UTF-8对其进行解码并失败。

这可能不是最好的方法，但我们可以手动指定不同的编码，例如Latin-1：

response = urllib.urlopen(...).read().decode('latin-1')

现在response是一个文本字符串（unicode），这就是LXML想要使用的内容。
