Python lxml(objectify):Xpath麻烦

我正在尝试解析xml文档,使用lxml objectify和xpath提取数据。以下是该文件的摘要:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Assets>
 <asset name="Adham">
  <pos>
   <x>27913.769923</x>
   <y>5174.627773</y>
  </pos>
   <description>Ba bla bla</description>
   <bar>(null)</bar>
  </general>
 </asset>
 <asset name="Adrian">
  <pos>
   <x>-179.477707</x>
   <y>5286.959359</y>
  </pos>
   <commodities/>
   <description>test test test</description>
   <bar>more bla</bar>
  </general>
 </asset>
</Assets>

我有以下方法:

def getALLattributesX(self, _root):
    '''Uses getattributeX and parses through the attribute dict, assigning
    values as it goes. _root is the main document root'''
    for k in self.attrib:
        self.getattributeX(_root, self.attribPaths[k], k)

...调用此方法:

def getattributeX(self, node, x_path, _attrib): 
    '''Gets a value from an xml node indicated by an xpath
    and assigns it to a the appropriate. If node does not exists
    it assigns "error"
    '''

    print node.xpath(x_path)[0].text
    try:
        self.attrib[_attrib] = node.xpath(x_path)
    except KeyError:
        self.misload = True
    #except AttributeError:
       # self.attrib[attrib] = "error loading " + attrib
        #self.misload = True

print语句来自测试。当我执行第一个方法时,它会解析xml文档,成功停止在每个资产对象上。我有一个变量的字典可供查找,还有一个免费的路径供它使用,如下所示:

class tAssetList:

    alist = {} #dict of assets
    tlist = []
    tree = None # XML tree
    root = None #root elem

    def readXML(self, _filename):
        #Load file
        fileobject = open(_filename, "r") #read-only
        self.tree = objectify.parse(fileobject)
        self.root = self.tree.getroot()

        for elem in self.root.asset:
            temp_asset = tAsset()
            a_name = elem.get("name") # get name, which is the key for dict
            temp_asset.getALLattributesX(elem)
            self.alist[a_name] = temp_asset


class tAsset(obs.nxObject):
    def __init__(self):
        self.attrib = {"X_pos" : None,  "Y_pos" : None}
        self.attribPaths = {"X_pos" : '/pos/x',  "Y_pos" : '/pos/y'}

但是,当我在节点上调用它时,xpath似乎不起作用(这是一个客观化的xml节点)。如果我直接将它等同,它只输出[]如果我尝试:[0] .text。

它会给出索引超出范围错误

这里发生了什么?

1 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:4)

/pos/x/pos/y是绝对的XPath表达式,它们不会选择任何元素,因为提供的XML文档没有pos顶部元素。

<强>尝试

pos/x

pos/y
