Python 管理XPath（lxml）中的引号

我想从给定网站的“制造一览表”中提取web元素。但行的名称有“（单引号）。这干扰了我的语法。我如何克服这个问题？此代码适用于其他行

import requests
from lxml import html, etree

ism_pmi_url = 'https://www.instituteforsupplymanagement.org/ismreport/mfgrob.cfm?SSO=1'
page = requests.get(ism_pmi_url)
tree = html.fromstring(page.content)

PMI_CustomerInventories = tree.xpath('//strong[text()="Customers' Inventories"]/../../following-sibling::td/p/text()')
PMI_CustomerInventories_Curr_Val = PMI_CustomerInventories[0]

这是我避免你的问题的方法。 也许这不是你真正需要的，但可以帮助你得到这个想法

#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import lxml.html
import re
import requests
import lxml.html
from pprint import pprint

def load_lxml(response):
    return lxml.html.fromstring(response.text)

url = 'https://www.instituteforsupplymanagement.org/ismreport/mfgrob.cfm?SSO=1'
response = requests.get(url)
root = load_lxml(response)

headers = []
data = []
for index,row in enumerate(root.xpath('//*[@id="home_feature_container"]/div/div/div/span/table[2]/tbody/tr')):
    rows = []
    for cindex,column in enumerate(row.xpath('./th//text() | ./td//text()')):
        if cindex == 1:
            continue
        column = column.strip()
        if index == 0 or not column:
            continue
        elif index == 1:
            headers.append(column)
        else:
            rows.append(column)

    if rows and len(rows) == 6:
        data.append(rows)


data.insert(0,headers)

pprint(data)    

结果:

  'Feb',
  'Series Index',

  'Percentage',
  'Point',
  'Change',
  'Direction',
  'Rate of Change',
  'Trend* (Months)'],

谢谢你，wu4m4n。我注意到有时候网站会有一些变化。X路径从“/div/div/div/”变为“/div/div[2]/div/”等等。这是完全不可预测的。因此，过去使用这种技术的代码失败了。
