Good way to remove/catch wrong tags?
by codecomplete＠free.fr Jan. 28, 2023

Jan. 28, 2023

Hello, Some columns in a DB have badly formed HTML, to the point BeautifulSoup (lxml?) fails: ============= #Some records start with 0A</crap> soup = BeautifulSoup("\n</strong>", 'lxml') #AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'text' print(soup.body.text) ============= What would be a nice way to solve the problem? Is there a command to remove wrong tags altogether (eg. strings that starts with </strong>), or should I just catch the error? Thank you.

[lxml-dev] lxml 2.0.5 released
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.

Question about inheritance in cssselect.py
by Dani Litovsky Alcala Dec. 23, 2022

Dec. 23, 2022

lxml v.4.9 cssselect.py:CSSSelector.__init__ calls on `etree.XPath.__init__(self, path, namespaces=namespaces)` to initialize the parent class. Is there a reason why `super()` or even `super(CSSSelector, self)__init__...` is not used? I bring this up as if I attempt to monkey patch (private project) `etree.XPath.__init__` the current code causes an error ``` TypeError: super(type, obj): obj must be an instance or subtype of type ``` while replacing it with the suggested use of `super()` fixes my error.

%s formatting in documentation (in stead of f-string)
by t.roes＠247interfaces.nl Dec. 20, 2022

Dec. 20, 2022

Switching to lxml for xml parsing and generating, I was somewhat puzzeled by the usage line's like XHTML_NAMESPACE = "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" XHTML = "{%s}" % XHTML_NAMESPACE With more modern f-string's this could also be written as XHTML = f"{{{XHTML_NAMESPACE}}}" This may be because I only started on Python on 3.7, and have never worked with any 2.x I quite understand there is no time to rework all the doc's in the low income on this project. Just two questions: - is there (… [View More]

Re: zlib error

Thank you for your response I am using the pre-built binary wheels through pip install lxml When I looked through the files, I noticed in the path lxml/includes/extlibs that the zlib.h file in that folder says version 1.2.11 for the latest version of lxml which is 4.9.2. Am I doing something wrong?

zlib error
by Ajayi, Temitope Dec. 15, 2022

Dec. 15, 2022

Hi It seems the version of zlib used in lxml is outdated. It currently shows up as zlib 1.2.11 instead of zlib 1.2.13 on scan reports and therefore vulnerable to CVE-2018-25032 and CVE-2022-37434. Can I get some help on if this is correct or I am doing something wrong? Thank you

No Python 3.11 wheels built for/on PyPi ?
by Athanasius Nov. 19, 2022

Nov. 19, 2022

I've just gotten around to looking at migrating a project to Python 3.11 and upon `pip install -r requirements-dev.txt` I'm seeing there are no lxml Python 3.11 wheels on PyPi, which leads to `pip` trying to compile it locally, and I of course don't have the requirements installed. Whilst I could address the latter for my local environment that won't help with building on GitHub for releases (we use `lxml` specifically to build a WiX configuration file for the building an installer). Any … [View More]

Simpler wheel distribution for Windows
by null Nov. 18, 2022

Nov. 18, 2022

Hi. This is my first time using an email mailing list so please inform me if this is not the proper channel. I'm packaging a python application which depends on LXML. As you're all aware, installing this library on Windows is not the most straightforward thing due to its laughable lack of pre-installed build tools. This can be circumvented in several ways which are well documented by LXML, however, as noted in the website, asking end users to install these tools to build it from source is … [View More]
