我今天在使用BeautifulSoup时遇到了一种非常奇怪的行为。
让我们看看一个非常简单的html片段:
<html><body><ix:nonfraction>lele</ix:nonfraction></body></html>
我正在尝试使用BeautifulSoup获取<ix:nonfraction>
标记的内容。
使用find
方法时,一切正常:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
html = "<html><body><ix:nonfraction>lele</ix:nonfraction></body></html>"
soup = BeautifulSoup(html, 'lxml') # The parser used here does not matter
soup.find('ix:nonfraction')
>>> <ix:nonfraction>lele</ix:nonfraction>
但是,在尝试使用find_all
方法时,我希望返回一个包含此单个元素的列表,但事实并非如此!
soup.find_all('ix:nonfraction')
>>> []
事实上,每当我正在搜索的标签中出现冒号时,find_all
似乎都会返回一个空列表。
我已经能够在两台不同的计算机上重现这个问题。
有没有人有解释,更重要的是,有一个解决方法?
我需要使用find_all
方法,因为我的实际案例要求我在整个html页面上获取所有这些标签。

@ yosemite_k解决方案的工作原因是因为在bs4的源代码中,它正在跳过导致此行为的特定条件。事实上,你可以做很多变化,这会产生同样的结果。例子:
soup.find_all({"ix:nonfraction"})
soup.find_all('ix:nonfraction', limit=1)
soup.find_all('ix:nonfraction', text=True)
以下是beautifulsoup源代码中的一个片段,其中显示了致电find
或find_all
时会发生什么。您会看到find
仅使用find_all
调用limit=1
。在_find_all
中,它会检查条件:
if text is None and not limit and not attrs and not kwargs:
如果遇到这种情况,那么最终可能会达到这个条件:
# Optimization to find all tags with a given name.
if name.count(':') == 1:
如果它在那里,那么它会重新分配name
:
# This is a name with a prefix.
prefix, name = name.split(':', 1)
这是你的行为不同的地方。只要find_all
不符合任何先前条件,您就会找到元素。

将标记名留空,并使用ix作为属性。
soup.find_all({"ix:nonfraction"})
运作良好
编辑:'ix:nonfraction'不是标签名称,因此soup.find_all(“ix:nonfraction”)返回一个不存在标签的空列表。

>>> soup.findAll('ix:nonfraction')
[<ix:nonfraction>lele</ix:nonfraction>]
