</p>

I want to get "Glassware veteran" and "has fallen on hard times lately. Is it time to give up on the stock, or will Corning have a banana and a comeback?"

Using the code

tnode = root.xpath("/p")
content = tnode.text

I can only get "Glassware veteran",why?

Answer 1

Something like this might get you what you want:

>>> tnode = root.xpath('/p')
>>> content = tnode.xpath('text()')
>>> print ''.join(content)

Glassware veteran

If you want all of the text nodes, just use //text() instead of text() :

>>> print ' '.join([x.strip() for x in ele.xpath('//text()')])
