我认为在每种情况下strip_tagsstrip_elements都是您想要的。例如,这个脚本:

from lxml import etree

text = "<x>hello, <z>keep me</z> and <y>ignore me</y>, and here's some <y>more</y> text</x>"

tree = etree.fromstring(text)

print etree.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True)

# Remove the <z> tags, but keep their contents:
etree.strip_tags(tree, 'z')

print '-' * 72
print etree.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True)

# Remove all the <y> tags including their contents:
etree.strip_elements(tree, 'y', with_tail=False)

print '-' * 72
print etree.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True)

...产生以下输出:

<x>hello, <z>keep me</z> and <y>ignore me</y>, and
here's some <y>more</y> text</x>

------------------------------------------------------------------------
<x>hello, keep me and <y>ignore me</y>, and
here's some <y>more</y> text</x>

------------------------------------------------------------------------
<x>hello, keep me and , and
here's some  text</x>
