[英]Test the existence of an Element with lxml.objectify
What is the standard way for testing if an element exists or not with lxml.objectify
? 使用lxml.objectify
测试元素是否存在的标准方法是什么?
Sample XML : 示例XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Test>
<MyElement1>sdfsdfdsfd</MyElement1>
</Test>
Code 码
from lxml import etree, objectify
with open('config.xml') as f:
xml = f.read()
root = objectify.fromstring(xml)
print root.MyElement1
print root.MyElement17 # AttributeError: no such child: MyElement17
Then, what is the simplest solution to write something on a specific path ? 那么,在特定路径上写一些东西的最简单的解决方案是什么?
root.MyElement1.Blah = 'New' # this works because MyElement1 already exists
root.MyElement17.Blah = 'New' # this doesn't work because MyElement17 doesn't exist
root.MyElement1.Foo.Bar = 'Hello' # this doesn't as well... How to do this shortly ?
find
method will return None
if the element does not exist. 如果元素不存在, find
方法将返回None
。
>>> xml = '''<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
... <Test>
... <MyElement1>sdfsdfdsfd</MyElement1>
... </Test>'''
>>>
>>> from lxml import objectify
>>> root = objectify.fromstring(xml)
>>> root.find('.//MyElement1')
'sdfsdfdsfd'
>>> root.find('.//MyElement17')
>>> root.find('.//MyElement17') is None
True
UPDATE according to the question edit: 根据问题的编辑更新 :
>>> from lxml import objectify
>>>
>>> def add_string(parent, attr, s):
... if len(attr) == 1:
... setattr(parent, attr[0], s)
... else:
... child = getattr(parent, attr[0], None)
... if child is None:
... child = objectify.SubElement(parent, attr[0])
... add_string(child, attr[1:], s)
...
>>> root = objectify.fromstring(xml)
>>> add_string(root, ['MyElement1', 'Blah'], 'New')
>>> add_string(root, ['MyElement17', 'Blah'], 'New')
>>> add_string(root, ['MyElement1', 'Foo', 'Bar'], 'Hello')
>>>
>>> root.MyElement1.Blah
'New'
>>> root.MyElement17.Blah
'New'
>>> root.MyElement1.Foo.Bar
'Hello'
