Python ElementTree使用通配符find()?

标签: python find wildcard elementtree

我在python中解析XML feed以提取某些标签。我的XML包含名称空间,这导致每个标记包含一个名称空间,后跟标记名称。

这是xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" xmlns:rte="http://www.rte.ie/schemas/vod">

<!-- playlist.xml -->
</feed>

解析XML时,每个元素都会显示为:

{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}id
{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}published
{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}updated
.....
.....
{http://www.rte.ie/schemas/vod}valid
{http://www.rte.ie/schemas/vod}duration
....
....
{http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/}description
{http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/}thumbnail
....

由于我有3个不同的命名空间,我无法保证它们总是一样的,所以我不愿意像这样严格指定每个标签:

for elem in tree.iter({http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}entry'):
    stream = str(elem.find('{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}id').text)
    date_tmp = str(elem.find('{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}published').text)
    name_tmp = str(elem.find('{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}title').text)
    short_tmp = str(elem.find('{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}content').text)
    channel_tmp = elem.find('{http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom}category', "channel")
    channel = str(channel_tmp.get('term'))
    icon_tmp = elem.find('{http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/}thumbnail')
    icon_url = str(icon_tmp.get('url'))

有没有什么方法可以将通配符或类似内容放入查找中,这样它就会忽略命名空间?

stream = str(elem.find('*id').text)

我可以像上面那样对它们进行硬编码,但是我的运气就是命名空间会改变,我的查询会停止返回数据。

感谢您的帮助。

您可以将XPath表达式与local-name()函数一起使用:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root xmlns="ns">
  <tag/>
</root>

假设“doc”是上述XML的ElementTree:

import lxml.etree
doc = lxml.etree.parse(<some_file_like_object>)
root = doc.getroot()
root.xpath('//*[local-name()="tag"]')
[<Element {ns}tag at 0x7fcde6f7c960>]

根据需要替换<some_file_like_object>(或者,您可以使用lxml.etree.fromstring和XML字符串直接获取root元素。
