元素樹的XPath的

Question

我用元素樹了一段時間，我喜歡它，因爲它的簡單的限

但我懷疑它的實現路徑X

的這是XML文件

<a> 
    <b name="b1"></b> 
    <b name="b2"><c/></b> 
    <b name="b2"></b> 
    <b name="b3"></b> 
</a> 

的Python代碼

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET 
tree = ET.parse('test.xml') 
root = tree.getroot() 
root.findall("b[@name='b2' and c]") 

該程序顯示了錯誤：

invalid predicate 

但是，如果使用

root.findall("b[@name='b2']") or 
root.findall("b[c]") 

它的工作原理，

Answer 1

ElementTree provides limited support for XPath expressions. The goal is to support a small subset of the abbreviated syntax; a full XPath engine is outside the scope of the core library.

（F. 。Lundh開發，XPath Support in ElementTree）

對於支持XPath（1.0 ElementTree的實現），檢查LXML：

>>> s = """<a> 
    <b name="b1"></b> 
    <b name="b2"><c /></b> 
    <b name="b2"></b> 
    <b name="b3"></b> 
</a>""" 
>>> from lxml import etree 
>>> t = etree.fromstring(s) 
>>> t.xpath("b[@name='b2' and c]") 
[<Element b at 1340788>] 

Answer 2

從ElementTree documentation on XPath support.：

ElementTree provides limited support for XPath expressions. The goal is to support a small subset of the abbreviated syntax; a full XPath engine is outside the scope of the core library.

你剛剛在發現的限制實施。您可以改用lxml;它提供了一個完整的XPath 1.0 support ElementTree兼容接口。
