标签: python xml parsing elementtree

我正在提取xml文档中的所有文本。我想找标签说 description ,然后搜索所有的子孙,可能会有更多的元素,然后提取文本。

这是我的代码,但无法在孙子标签中获取文字:

for element in root.find('description'):
    print 'parent: ', element.tag, '|', element.attrib
    try:
        data.write(element.text)
        for all_tags in element.findall('./'):
            print 'child: ', all_tags.tag, '|', all_tags.attrib
            if all_tags.text:
                data.write('\n')
                data.write(all_tags.text)
                if all_tags.tail:
                    data.write('\n')
                    data.write(all_tags.tail)
                    data.write('\n')
        data.write('\n')
    except TypeError:
        pass
    except UnicodeEncodeError:
        unicodestr = element.text.encode("utf-8")
        data.write(unicodestr)

    data.write('\n')

问题出在for all_tags循环中。

Protein kinases are involved in the signal transduction pathways linking growth factors, hormones and other cell regulation molecules to cell growth, survival and metabolism under both normal and pathological conditions.

在此输入中,<i> Nature </i>之后的文本被遗漏并被第一行中的文本替换。我相信这是因为all_tags.tail从父标签获取文本而不是从子孙标签中获取文本。

element.findall('./')显式只查找标记的直接子项。查找所有后代的表达式为.//(双斜杠)。

针对给定样本的循环的简化版本,然后产生:

>>> for element in root:
...     print 'parent: ', element.tag, '|', element.attrib
...     print element.text
...     for all_tags in element.findall('.//'):
...         print 'child: ', all_tags.tag, '|', all_tags.attrib
...         if all_tags.text:
...             print all_tags.text, '|', all_tags.tail
...

你可能想要使用itertext(),但是如果你想稍微加强你的游戏,你应该尝试xpath。在这些类型的情况下它真的很棒。

这是一个例子 - 我给出的xpath基本上说:

在XML文档中的任何位置查找所有标记,然后返回 它和所有孩子的文本。

#!/usr/bin/python

from lxml import etree

tree = etree.fromstring(open('t.xml').read())

for el in tree.xpath('//description/descendant-or-self::*/text()'):
    print el
