在python lxml中查找前缀标签的提示?

时间:2011-10-07 04:47:54

标签: lxml xml-namespaces

我正在尝试使用lxml的ElementTree etree在我的xml文档中查找特定标记。 标签如下所示:

<text:ageInformation>
    <text:statedAge>12</text:statedAge>
</text:ageInformation>

我希望使用etree.find('text:statedAge'),但该方法不喜欢'text'前缀。 它提到我应该在前缀地图中添加“文本”,但我不确定如何做到这一点。有什么提示吗?

编辑: 我希望能够写入hr4e前缀标签。 以下是该文件的重要部分:

必须在XML文档中声明(映射到URI)名称空间前缀。然后,您可以使用{URI}localname notation查找text:statedAge和其他元素。像这样:

from lxml import etree

XML = """
<root xmlns:text="http://example.com">
 <text:ageInformation>
   <text:statedAge>12</text:statedAge>
 </text:ageInformation>
</root>"""

root = etree.fromstring(XML)

ageinfo = root.find("{http://example.com}ageInformation")
age = ageinfo.find("{http://example.com}statedAge")
print age.text

这将打印“12”。

另一种方法:

ageinfo = root.find("text:ageInformation",
                    namespaces={"text": "http://example.com"})
age = ageinfo.find("text:statedAge",
                   namespaces={"text": "http://example.com"})
print age.text

您还可以使用XPath

age = root.xpath("//text:statedAge",
                 namespaces={"text": "http://example.com"})[0]
print age.text

我最终不得不使用嵌套前缀:

from lxml import etree

XML = """
<greenCCD xmlns="AlschulerAssociates::GreenCDA" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:hr4e="hr4e::patientdata"  xsi:schemaLocation="AlschulerAssociates::GreenCDA green_ccd.xsd">
<personInformation>
 <hr4e:ageInformation>
   <hr4e:statedAge>12</hr4e:statedAge>
 </hr4e:ageInformation>
</personInformation>
</greenCCD>"""

root = etree.fromstring(XML)
#root = etree.parse("hr4e_patient.xml")

ageinfo = root.find("{AlschulerAssociates::GreenCDA}personInformation/{hr4e::patientdata}ageInformation")
age = ageinfo.find("{hr4e::patientdata}statedAge")
print age.text
