Hi
I am trying to use the TidyHTMLTreeBuilder module which is part of
elementtidy, but I am getting what appears to be some sort of scope
error and it is scrambling my n00b brain.
The module file (TidyHTMLTreeBuilder.py) tried to import ElementTree by
doing the following:
from elementtree import ElementTree
This bombed, so after a bit of poking around I replaced it with :
from xml.etree import ElementTree
This appears to have worked. However, when I try and parse a file using
the function :
TidyHTMLTreeBuilder.parse('weather_ct.html')
I receive the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File
"/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/elementtidy/TidyHTMLTreeBuilder.py",
line 107, in parse
return ElementTree.parse(source, TreeBuilder())
NameError: global name 'ElementTree' is not defined
The code producing the error is as follows:
def parse(source):
return ElementTree.parse(source, TreeBuilder())
Surely, if the from... import has worked, ElementTree is in the global
scope and should therefore be accessible to the function parse?
Can anybody help?
THanks
