如何使用xml.etree获取元素的xpath

Question

While working on a specific element in the XML tree, I need to get the xpath of this element. For example /A/B[4]/C/D[1]/Age If using lxml, it is very simple: Simply use tree.getelementpath(child)

But for a reason I need to use xml.etree. How can it be done there?

Answer 1

Something like this:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

root = ET.fromstring(you_xml_code)
root.findall('./A/B[4]/C/D[1]/Age')
