Hi
How can I actually access the values of an element with lxml objectify?
for example if I had this element in my xml file.
<Track VenueName="Flemington" VenueDesc="Flemington" VenueAbbr="FLEM" VenueCode="151" TrackName="Main" TrackCode="149">
I can see all the attributes using this.
In [86]: for child in root.getchildren():
print(child.attrib)
....:
{}
{'RequestCode': '', 'RequestId': '0'}
{}
{}
...
{}
{}
{}
{'Category': 'Metro', 'AbrClubDesc': 'VRC', 'State': 'VIC', 'ClubCode': '10018', 'Title': 'Victoria Racing Club'}
{'TrackName': 'Main', 'VenueName': 'Flemington', 'TrackCode': '149', 'VenueAbbr': 'FLEM', 'VenueDesc': 'Flemington', 'VenueCode': '151'}
{}
{}
...
Trying to access by attribs isn't working or me.
In [90]: names = [p.text for p in root.Track.attrib['VenueName']]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-90-8e4bdae01d63> in <module>()
----> 1 names = [p.text for p in root.Track.attrib['VenueName']]
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'text'
What am I missing with this?
Thanks
Sayth
