[lxml-dev] Checking whether a node is a comment/element
by Geoffrey Sneddon April 10, 2023

April 10, 2023

Hi, What's the best way to check whether a given node is a comment or an element? For the former, I'm currently using isinstance(node, etree._Comment), which is rather obviously sub-optimal. -- Geoffrey Sneddon <http://gsnedders.com/>

[lxml-dev] Reparenting a node
by Lawrence Oluyede Jan. 30, 2023

Jan. 30, 2023

I have a doc A and a doc B, I'd like to put a node extracted from A in the document B but I always get a ValueError: ValueError: Element is not a child of this node. I didn't find any "setparent" in the API. How can I do this? -- Lawrence, oluyede.org - neropercaso.it "It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on not understanding it" - Upton Sinclair

by Stefan Behnel Jan. 11, 2023

Jan. 11, 2023

Hi all, lxml 2.0.5 is on PyPI. This is a bug-fix-only release of the stable 2.0 series. Have fun, Stefan 2.0.5 (2008-05-01) Bugs fixed * Resolving to a filename in custom resolvers didn't work. * lxml did not honour libxslt's second error state "STOPPED", which let some XSLT errors pass silently. * Memory leak in Schematron with libxml2 >= 2.6.31.

Request for comprehensive manual for windows 64 bit lxml build
by khalikoff＠gmail.com April 28, 2014

April 28, 2014

Good afternoon! I’m trying to compile amd64 version of lxml. I use `python setup.py bdist_wininst --static-deps` command for this. I see that this command builds from 32 bit versions of libxml, libxslt, iconv, zlib. I’ve changed script so it takes zip-copy of 64bit 7z archives at Zlatkovic’s ftp. There are no .lib files in these packages, so I create them from dlls provided. But all the time I get “DLL Load Failed: no such path found” (retranslate from Russian) when using “from lxml import etree”. Also I see that etree.pyd from Zlatkovic’s package is 2 times bigger than mine. I’m using 64bit version of Visual C++ 2008 (also I tried with Mingw32-w64). Can someone provide full description of lxml building for Windows 64bit? I’ve searched in this mailing list, but have found a little.
