[英]ElementTree findall() returning empty list
I am trying to write a small script for interacting with the last.fm API. 我正在尝试编写一个与last.fm API进行交互的小脚本。
I have a small bit of experience working with ElementTree
, but the way I used it previously doesn't seem to be working, it instead returns an empty list. 我有一点使用
ElementTree
的经验,但我之前使用它的方式似乎不起作用,而是返回一个空列表。
I removed the API key as I don't know exactly how private it should be, and gave an example of the XML I am receiving in it's place. 我删除了API密钥,因为我不确切知道它应该是多么私密,并举例说明了我收到的XML。
Class for interacting with API: 与API交互的类:
from xml.etree import ElementTree
import urllib
import urllib2
class Last_fmWrapper(object):
def __init__(self):
self.last_fm_api_key = '*****************************'
self.api_url = 'http://ws.audioscrobbler.com/2.0/'
def get_now_playing(self, last_fm_user, method):
self.last_fm_user = last_fm_user
self.method = method
parameters = {'user':self.last_fm_user, 'api_key':self.last_fm_api_key, 'method':self.method}
encoded_parameters = urllib.urlencode(parameters)
request = urllib2.Request(self.api_url, encoded_parameters)
response = urllib2.urlopen(request)
api_results = ElementTree.parse(response).findall('track')
# why does api_results == []?
def compare_tasteometer(self):
pass
def register_user(self):
pass
Call to get_now_playing method of Last_fmWrapper()
: 调用
Last_fmWrapper()
get_now_playing方法:
from last_fm_wrapper import Last_fmWrapper
last_fm = Last_fmWrapper()
now_playing = last_fm.get_now_playing('BiriBiriRG', 'user.getRecentTracks')
if now_playing == None:
print 'You not currently playing anything.'
else:
print 'You are now playing {}'.format(now_playing)
Sample of xml I receive: 我收到的xml样本:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<lfm status="ok">
<recenttracks user="BiriBiriRG" page="1" perPage="10" totalPages="18406" total="184058" >
<track>

The problem is that findall
only searches the immediate descendants of an element if it is given a tag name . 问题是, 如果给定标签名称 ,则
findall
仅搜索元素的直接后代 。 You need to give it an XPath expression that will find track
anywhere in the tree beneath it. 你需要给它的XPath表达式会发现
track
在它下面的树的任何地方。 So the following should work, for example: 所以以下内容应该有效,例如:
api_results = ElementTree.parse(response).findall('.//track')
