我想知道为什么在这个代码中append()
似乎在循环内部起作用,但是生成的xml仅显示最后一次迭代的修改,而remove()
按预期工作。这是一个过于简化的例子,我处理大块数据,需要将相同的子树附加到许多不同的父节点。
from lxml import etree
xml = etree.fromstring('<tree><fruit id="1"></fruit><fruit id="2"></fruit></tree>')
sub = etree.fromstring('<apple/>')
for i, item in enumerate(xml):
item.append(sub)
print('Fruit {} with sub appended: {}'.format(
i, etree.tostring(item).decode('ascii')))
print('\nResulting tree after iterating through items with append():\n' +
etree.tostring(xml, pretty_print=True).decode('ascii'))
for item in xml:
xml.remove(item)
print('Resulting tree after iterating through items with remove():\n' +
etree.tostring(xml, pretty_print=True).decode('ascii'))
当前输出:
Fruit 0 with sub appended: <fruit id="1"><apple/></fruit>
Fruit 1 with sub appended: <fruit id="2"><apple/></fruit>
Resulting tree after iterating through items with append():
<tree>
<fruit id="1"/>
<fruit id="2">
<apple/>
</fruit>
</tree>
Resulting tree after iterating through items with remove():
<tree/>
在使用append()
的项目进行迭代后,的预期输出:
<tree>
<fruit id="1"/>
<apple/>
</fruit>
<fruit id="2">
<apple/>
</fruit>
</tree>
答案 0 :(得分:1)
那是因为你只创建了一个<apple/>
的实例来追加。所以基本上你只是将一个实例从一个父实例移动到另一个实例,直到最后append(sub)
执行。尝试在<apple/>
循环中移动创建for
元素:
for i, item in enumerate(xml):
sub = etree.fromstring('<apple/>')
item.append(sub)
print('Fruit {} with sub appended: {}'.format(
i, etree.tostring(item).decode('ascii')))
print()
输出
Resulting tree after iterating through items with append():
<tree>
<fruit id="1">
<apple/>
</fruit>
<fruit id="2">
<apple/>
</fruit>
</tree>
