Hello I'm trying to read an xml file using minidome. The xml looks
like:
<rootNode>
<project>
<name>myProj</name>
<path>/here/</path>
</project>
</rootNode>
I have used the loop below and it works great, but I need get both child
elements or 'project' per iteration. I want to build a dictionary that
resemble this:
my_dict = {'myProj':'/here/', 'anothername':'anotherpath'}
I couldn't find how to do with in the element tree docs. Can you point
me in
the right direction?
py> import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
py> xml = """<rootNode>
... <project>
... <name>myProj</name>
... <path>/here/</path>
... </project>
... <project>
... <name>anothername</name>
... <path>anotherpath</path>
... </project>
... </rootNode>"""
py> doc = ET.fromstring(xml)
py> result = {}
py> for project in doc.findall('project'):
... name = project.find("name").text
... path = project.find("path").text
... result[name] = path
...
py> result
{'anothername': 'anotherpath', 'myProj': '/here/'}
The Element interface is documented here:
http://docs.python.org/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#the-element-interface
More info in the author's site:
http://www.effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm
(Perhaps you're using Python 2.5? That part of the documentation was
omited in the 2.5 doc set by mistake. Read the 2.6 docs instead, there was
no changes)
