使用Python脚本在XML标签没有值的情况下如何解决StopIteration问题

Question

I am using ixml to parse the XML doxument.

from lxml import etree
root=etree.XML(full xml tag file content)
 if (next(root.iterfind(".//one_inner_tag")).text is None):
      Print "NONE VALUE"
 else:
      Print root.iterfind(".//one_inner_tag")).text

While executing this code, I have faced an error like

if (next(root.iterfind(".//one_inner_tag")).text is None):
StopIteration

Because of the file content does not have that specific tag. If the Tag does not have a value means I need to print the NONE VALUE. But it prints the error.

Answer 1

next can take a second argument that is returned on exhaustion of the iterator, so try:

elem = next(root.iterfind(".//one_inner_tag"), None)  # Returns None on empty iterator
if elem is None or elem.text is None:
    print "NONE VALUE"
else:
    print elem.text
