用etreepython解析xml

对于此xml

<locations>

    <location>
        <locationid>1</locationid>
        <homeID>281</homeID>
        <buildingType>Added</buildingType>
        <address>A</address>
        <address2>This is address2</address2>
        <city>This is city/city>
        <state>State here</state>
        <zip>1234</zip>
    </location>
    <location>
        <locationid>2</locationid>
        <homeID>81</homeID>
        <buildingType>Added</buildingType>
        <address>B</address>
        <address2>This is address2</address2>
        <city>This is city/city>
        <state>State here</state>
        <zip>1234</zip>
    </location>

以

None

的形式获取输出，我在这里做什么错了？

首先，您的

xml

格式不正确。在发布数据时，您应该更加小心，并尽量避免让其他用户修复您的数据

您可以搜索前面的同级，如：

import urllib2
import lxml.etree as ET

url="..."
xmldata = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
root = ET.fromstring(xmldata)
for target in root.xpath('.//location/address[text()="A"]'):                                                                                                  
    for location in [e for e in target.itersiblings(preceding=True) if e.tag == "locationid"]:                                                                
        print location.text

或者直接从

xpath

表达式执行，如：

import urllib2
import lxml.etree as ET

url="..."
xmldata = urllib2.urlopen(url).read()
root = ET.fromstring(xmldata)
print root.xpath('.//location/address[text()="A"]/preceding-sibling::locationid/text()')[0]

按如下方式运行其中一个：

python2 script.py

这意味着：

请尝试此“//location/[normalize space（address）=“A”]”@Naren谢谢，尝试了此操作但无效。很抱歉，我的xml出现了一些错误。下次我会处理的。谢谢
