elementtree

I have this char in an xml file: <data> <products> <color>fumè</color> </product> </data> I try to generate an instance of ElementTree with the following code: string_data = open('file.xml') x = ElementTree.fromstring(unicode(string_data.encode('utf-8'))) and I get the following error: UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xe8' in position 185: ordinal not in range(128) (NOTE: The position is not exact, I sampled the xml from a larger one). How to solve it? Thanks Martijn Pieters You do not need to decode XML for ElementTree to work. XML carries it's own encoding

I am trying to write a small script for interacting with the last.fm API. I have a small bit of experience working with ElementTree , but the way I used it previously doesn't seem to be working, it instead returns an empty list. I removed the API key as I don't know exactly how private it should be, and gave an example of the XML I am receiving in it's place. Class for interacting with API: from xml.etree import ElementTree import urllib import urllib2 class Last_fmWrapper(object): def __init__(self): self.last_fm_api_key = '*****************************' self.api_url = 'http://ws

How can one access NS attributes through using ElementTree? With the following: <data xmlns="http://www.foo.net/a" xmlns:a="http://www.foo.net/a" book="1" category="ABS" date="2009-12-22"> When I try to root.get('xmlns') I get back None, Category and Date are fine, Any help appreciated.. Jeffrey Harris I think element.tag is what you're looking for. Note that your example is missing a trailing slash, so it's unbalanced and won't parse. I've added one in my example. >>> from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET >>> data = '''<data xmlns="http://www.foo.net/a" ... xmlns:a="http://www.foo.net/a" ..

This question already has an answer here: Pretty printing XML in Python 20 answers I am trying to use xml.etree.elementtree to write out xml files with Python. The issue is that they keep getting generated in a single line. I want to be able to easily reference them so if its possible I would really like to be able to have the written out cleanly. This is what I am getting <Language><En><Port>Port</Port><UserName>UserName</UserName></En><Ch><Port>IP地址</Port><UserName>用户名称</UserName></Ch></Language> This is what I would like to see. <Language> <En> <Port>Port</Port> <UserName>UserName</UserName

I am trying to emit an XML file with element-tree that contains an XML declaration and namespaces. Here is my sample code: from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET ET.register_namespace('com',"http://www.company.com") #some name # build a tree structure root = ET.Element("STUFF") body = ET.SubElement(root, "MORE_STUFF") body.text = "STUFF EVERYWHERE!" # wrap it in an ElementTree instance, and save as XML tree = ET.ElementTree(root) tree.write("page.xml", xml_declaration=True, method="xml" ) However, neither the <?xml tag comes out nor any namespace/prefix information. I'm more than a little

I have to handle xml documents that are big enough (up to 1GB) and parse them with python. I am using the iterparse() function (SAX style parsing). My concern is the following, imagine you have an xml like this <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <families> <family> <name>Simpson</name> <members> <name>Homer</name> <name>Marge</name> <name>Bart</name> </members> </family> <family> <name>Griffin</name> <members> <name>Peter</name> <name>Brian</name> <name>Meg</name> </members> </family> </families> The problem is, of course to know when I am getting a family name (as Simpsons) and when I am

Whenever I call ElementTree.tostring(e) , I get the following error message: AttributeError: 'Element' object has no attribute 'getroot' Is there any other way to convert an ElementTree object into an XML string? TraceBack: Traceback (most recent call last): File "Development/Python/REObjectSort/REObjectResolver.py", line 145, in <module> cm = integrateDataWithCsv(cm, csvm) File "Development/Python/REObjectSort/REObjectResolver.py", line 137, in integrateDataWithCsv xmlstr = ElementTree.tostring(et.getroot(),encoding='utf8',method='xml') AttributeError: 'Element' object has no attribute

Given an XML like the following: <root> <element>A</element> <element>B</element> </root> How can I match the element with content A using ElementTree and its support for XPath? Thanks AFAIK ElementTree does not support XPath. Has it changed? Anyway, you can use lxml and the following XPath expression: import lxml.etree doc = lxml.etree.parse('t.xml') print doc.xpath('//element[text()="A"]')[0].text print doc.xpath('//element[text()="A"]')[0].tag The result will be: A element If you want to use the standard library ElementTree , rather than lxml, you can use iteration to find all sub elements
