New submission from py.user: In the example there are two namespaces in one document, but it is impossible to search all elements only in one namespace:
>>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree >>> >>> s = '<feed xmlns="http://def"; xmlns:x="http://x";><a/><x:b/></feed>' >>> >>> root = etree.fromstring(s) >>> >>> root.findall('*') [<Element '{http://def}a' at 0xb73961bc>, <Element '{http://x}b' at 0xb7396c34>] >>> >>> root.findall('{http://def}*') [] >>> And same try with site package lxml works fine: >>> import lxml.etree as etree >>> >>> s = '<feed xmlns="http://def"; xmlns:x="http://x";><a/><x:b/></feed>' >>> >>> root = etree.fromstring(s) >>> >>> root.findall('*') [<Element {http://def}a at 0xb70ab11c>, <Element {http://x}b at 0xb70ab144>] >>> >>> root.findall('{http://def}*') [<Element {http://def}a at 0xb70ab11c>] >>> ---------- components: Library (Lib), XML messages: 277130 nosy: py.user priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: In xml.etree.ElementTree findall() can't search all elements in a namespace type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue28238> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
