Question

我是lxml的新手。我想下载网页并从中获取感兴趣的数据，我的代码是：

import urllib2
from lxml import etree

url = "http://www.example.com/"

html = urllib2.urlopen(url)

root = etree.parse(html) # the problem is here

任何人都可以解释为什么这是错的吗？

错误是：

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "yatego.py", line 10, in <module>
    root = etree.parse(html)
  File "lxml.etree.pyx", line 2942, in lxml.etree.parse (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:54187)
  File "parser.pxi", line 1550, in lxml.etree._parseDocument (src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:79703)

lxml.etree.XMLSyntaxError: Entity 'mdash' not defined, line 4, column 21

此代码：

url = "http://www.example.com/"

res = requests.get(url)
doc = lxml.html.parse(res.content)

给出了这个错误：

File "yatego.py", line 11, in <module>
    doc = lxml.html.parse(res.content)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/lxml/html/__init__.py", line 692, in parse

    <title>IANA &mdash; Example domains</title>

此代码：

doc = lxml.html.parse(url)

工作正常

问题出在哪里？

Answer 1

这里的关键是例外：

IOError: Error reading file '<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC  ...

您将文件的内容传递给需要文件路径的函数。同样的原因doc = lxml.html.parse(url)有效，网址是＆＃34;文件路径。

以下工作是否更好？

doc = lxml.html.fromstring(res.content)

Answer 2

您应该使用lxml.html来解析HTML而不是lxml.etree。

您也可以使用lxml直接打开网址：

doc = lxml.html.parse(url)

有时lxml在处理HTTP的怪癖时遇到问题，在这种情况下，您需要使用更强大的解决方案来获取页面，例如requests：

res = requests.get(url)
doc = lxml.html.parse(res.content)

Answer 3

您应该使用html.read()开头：HTML不是字符串类型。此外，您应该检查URL是否正确下载，因为这无法保证。

UPD。使用html.parse(filename_or_url)

在python中的lxml，从url解析
