[lxml-dev] lxml has its page on launchpad
by Stefan Behnel 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

Hi all, I added the lxml project to launchpad, the Ubuntu Bug-Tracker. It also has a FAQ engine and a couple of other goodies. https://launchpad.net/lxml It's easy to sign up for launchpad, BTW, no 90%-footnotes-contract. Have fun, Stefan

[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.

[lxml-dev] Building LXML Trunk
by Sidnei da Silva 31 Aug '22

31 Aug '22

Hi, I've tried to build lxml from trunk today, on Win32. Got the following error: src\lxml\etree.c(880) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' src\lxml\etree.c(881) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' src\lxml\etree.c(882) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' src\lxml\etree.c(883) : error C2059: syntax error : ')' Any clue? Smells like a Pyrex issue? -- Sidnei da Silva Enfold Systems http://enfoldsystems.com Fax +1 832 201 8856 Office +1 713 942 2377 Ext 214

htmlfile doesn't escape attribute values
by Burak Arslan 27 Dec '16

27 Dec '16

Hello, This is a heads-up for bug 1594155 here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lxml/+bug/1594155 Please consider the following test case. >>> from lxml import html >>> from lxml.etree import htmlfile >>> from lxml.html.builder import E >>> from StringIO import StringIO >>> out = StringIO() >>> with htmlfile(out) as f: ... with f.element("tagname", attrib={"attr": '"misquoted"'}): ... f.write("foo") ... >>> out.getvalue() '<tagname attr=""misquoted"">foo</tagname>' Expected output: '<tagname attr=""misquoted"">foo</tagname>' Lack of proper escaping confuses the hell out of browsers :) Proper escaping is needed to safely put html documents inside srcdoc attribute of an <iframe>. The workaround is to quote the data before putting it inside an attribute. Fortunately, only replacing " with " is enough and & is also not escaped (but it should be). versions: Python : sys.version_info(major=2, minor=7, micro=11, releaselevel='final', serial=0) lxml.etree : (3, 6, 0, 0) libxml used : (2, 9, 3) libxml compiled : (2, 9, 3) libxslt used : (1, 1, 28) libxslt compiled : (1, 1, 28) Best regards, Burak

xpath suddenly slow on new laptop/install?
by Dag Sverre Seljebotn 19 Jun '16

19 Jun '16

Hi, I just got a new laptop, and after setting it up, my xpath queries with lxml are going very, very much slower. As in -- on my old laptop it finishes going through a lot of XML files in 30 seconds, on the new one I have to wait for hours without it completing. Both are Core i7 with lots of memory, just with 5 years between them. The XML files are a couple of megabytes each. On the new laptop I've both tried lxml from Ubuntu, from Anaconda, and building it myself.. Is there any obvious things (fallback to Python implementation if a package is missing or similar), or do I need to dig deeper? I necessary I'll debug further by moving installs back and forth between the machines, or build old versions of lxml, or profile lxml... didn't do that yet. Dag Sverre

Error installing lxml 3.5.0 on CentOS 7
by AAyzenberg＠alpine-la.com 19 Jun '16

19 Jun '16

Hi All, The installation of the lxml 3.5.0 is failing on the CentOS 7 (x86_64). The search on the web did not help much. My last hope is your group. I tried with using pip with different arguments: lxml==3.5.0 (.venv) [centos@MyDirectory]$ pip install -r env/requirements where file requirements has only one line: (.venv) [centos@MyDirectory]$ pip install lxml-3.5.0.tar.gz [centos@MyDirectory]$ sudo pip install lxml==3.5.0 [centos@MyDirectory]$ sudo pip install lxml-3.5.0.tar.gz [centos@MyDirectory]$ .venv/bin/pip install lxml-3.5.0.tar.gz [centos@MyDirectory]$ sudo .venv/bin/pip install lxml-3.5.0.tar.gz All the times the first line indicating an error is: " Running setup.py install for lxml ... error" Also I looked to use command "yum info package", but did not find an appropriate .rpm file for lxml-3.5.0. The console outputs of the last attempt with pip is below (actually, they all are almost the same): [centos@MyDirectory]$ sudo .venv/bin/pip install lxml-3.5.0.tar.gz Processing ./lxml-3.5.0.tar.gz Building wheels for collected packages: lxml Running setup.py bdist_wheel for lxml ... error Complete output from command /home/kokone/.virtualenv/bin/python -u -c "import setuptools, tokenize;__file__='/tmp/pip-v7rlpA-build/setup.py';exec (compile(getattr(tokenize, 'open', open)(__file__).read().replace('\r\n', '\n'), __file__, 'exec'))" bdist_wheel -d /tmp/tmpNsW741pip-wheel- --python-tag cp27: Building lxml version 3.5.0.

Hello, My document uses xi:include to include another XML document, and by default this adds an xml:base="common.xml" to the included node(s). Using xmllint --xinclude --nofixup-base-uris document.xml I can avoid adding xml:base. How can I achieve the same with lxml? I.e. how do I avoid the base? It seems that setting _Element.base to None is a poor, even unstable solution. Thanks! Jens -- Jens Tröger http://savage.light-speed.de/

What are the options in lxml to prevent the parser to process DTDs, i.e. reject any XML that contains a DTD (for security reasons)? Best regards Rainer
