lxml

I have to deal with two types of inline tags in xml documents. The first type of tags enclose text that I want to keep in-between. I can deal with this with lxml's etree.tostring(element, method="text", encoding='utf-8') The second type of tags include text that I don't want to keep. How can I get rid of these tags and their text? I would prefer not to use regular expressions, if possible. Thanks Mark Longair I think that strip_tags and strip_elements are what you want in each case. For example, this script: from lxml import etree text = "<x>hello, <z>keep me</z> and <y>ignore me</y>, and here

I'm trying to find a way to parse (potentially malformed) HTML in Python and, if a set of conditions are met, output that piece of the document with the position (line, column). The position information is what is tripping me up here. And to be clear, I have no need to build an object tree. I simply want to find certain pieces of data and their position in the original document (think of a spell checker, for example: 'word "foo" at line x, column y, is misspelled)' As an example I want something like this (using ElementTree's Target API ): import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET class EchoTarget:

I'm trying to assign a valid French text string to a text string using lxml: el = etree.Element("someelement") el.text = 'Disponible à partir du 1er Octobre' I get the error: ValueError: All strings must be XML compatible: Unicode or ASCII, no NULL bytes or control characters I've also tried: el.ext = etree.CDATA('Disponible à partir du 1er Octobre') However I get the same error. How do I handle French in XML, in particular, ISO-8859-1? There are ways to specify encoding within the tostring() function in lxml, but not for assigning text values within elements. jfs If text contains non-ascii

Here's the code I have: from cStringIO import StringIO from lxml import etree xml = StringIO('''<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE root [ <!ENTITY test "This is a test"> ]> <root> _&test; </root>''') d1 = etree.parse(xml) print '%r' % d1.find('/sub').text parser = etree.XMLParser(resolve_entities=False) d2 = etree.parse(xml, parser=parser) print '%r' % d2.find('/sub').text Here's the output: 'This is a test' None How do I get lxml to give me '&test;' , i.e., the raw entity reference? The "unresolved" Entity is left as child node of the element node sub >>> print d2.find
