[lxml-dev] Checking whether a node is a comment/element
by Geoffrey Sneddon 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

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 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

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

[lxml-dev] lxml 2.0.5 released
by Stefan Behnel 11 Jan '23

11 Jan '23

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.

Hi, I've tried to build lxml from trunk today, on Win32.

Request for comprehensive manual for windows 64 bit lxml build
by khalikoff＠gmail.com 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

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.
