Afternoon
Wondering has anyone much experience with lxml specifically objectify?
When I pick up a file with lxml and use objectify dumping root works as
expected actually better its quite nice. This is how i do it, file handling
part left out for brevity.
def getsMeet(file_list):
for filename in sorted(file_list):
filename=my_dir + filename
yield filename
def parseXML():
"""
"""
for file in getsMeet(file_list):
with open(file) as f:
xml = f.read()
root = objectify.fromstring(xml)
print(root.tag)
print(objectify.dump(root))
race = objectify.SubElement(root,"race")
print(objectify.dump(race))
parseXML()
So the first call to print(objectify.dump(root)) gives as a sample.
meeting = None [ObjectifiedElement]
* id = '42977'
* barriertrial = '0'
* venue = 'Rosehill Gardens'
* date = '2016-05-21T00:00:00'
* gearchanges = '-1'
* stewardsreport = '-1'
* gearlist = '-1'
* racebook = '0'
* postracestewards = '0'
* meetingtype = 'TAB'
* rail = 'Timing - Electronic : Rail - +6m'
* weather = 'Fine '
* trackcondition = 'Good 3 '
* nomsdeadline = '2016-05-16T11:00:00'
* weightsdeadline = '2016-05-17T16:00:00'
* acceptdeadline = '2016-05-18T09:00:00'
* jockeydeadline = '2016-05-18T12:00:00'
club = '' [StringElement]
* abbrevname = 'Australian Turf Club'
* code = '56398'
* associationclass = '1'
* website = 'http://'
race = None [ObjectifiedElement]
* id = '215411'
* number = '1'
* nomnumber = '9'
Then I am confused when I want to repeat this but only for the subelement race
I get a return but not as expected.
This is my return
race = '' [StringElement]
so why do i not get all the elements of race as I do when i dump the root?
