objectify.parse() returns lxml.etree._ElementTree instead of lxml.objectify.ObjectifiedElement
Hi,
Any idea why objectify.parse() is returning an lxml.etree._ElementTree
object while objectify.parsestring()
returns lxml.objectify.ObjectifiedElement?
I've installed lxml 2.3.4 using easy_install on Ubuntu 10.04.
from lxml import objectify
import StringIO
obj = objectify.parse(StringIO.StringIO("<foo><bar>1</bar></foo>"))
print type(obj) #prints

I assume you meant "fromstring()"?
returns lxml.objectify.ObjectifiedElement?

Can't check right now, but I'm pretty sure there's a FAQ entry about it (and if not, then it's certainly spelled out in the docs somewhere). Short answer: use cases. Stefan
Oh, I see. I need to call obj.get_root() to the ObjectifiedElement.
Thanks.
