thank you for your advice.
I am running into an issue though (which is likely a newbie problem):
My xml file looks like (which i got from the internet):
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<catalog>
<book id="bk101">
<author>Gambardella, Matthew</author>
<title>XML Developer's Guide</title>
<genre>Computer</genre>
<price>44.95</price>
<publish_date>2000-10-01</publish_date>
<description>An in-depth look at creating applications
with XML.</description>
</book>
</catalog>
Then i try to access it as:
from lxml import etree
from lxml import objectify
inputfile="../input/books.xml"
parser = etree.XMLParser(ns_clean=True)
parser = etree.XMLParser(remove_comments=True)
Change that to
parser = objectify.makeparser(ns_clean=True, remove_comments=True)
root = objectify.parse(inputfile,parser)
Change that to
root = objectify.parse(inputfile,parser).getroot()
According to your instructions i do:
parser = objectify.makeparser(ns_clean=True, remove_comments=True)
root = objectify.parse(inputfile,parser).getroot()
print root.catalog.book.author.text
root == <catalog>
Try "print root.tag", and read the tutorial.
