python在任意位置添加元素,Python ElementTree：如何在非常特定的位置添加子元素？...

I want to add a subelement to an xml file, but in a very specific position, not appended to the end.

The standard way is:

subi = ET.SubElement(root[0][0], 'subi')

which is fine.

but: Let's say, root[0][0] already has two children, hence accessible via root[0][0][0] and root[0][0][1].

And I want "subi" to become the new middle child, root[0][0][1], making the original second child become the third child root[0][0][2].

Is there a way to do that? (My experiences with life and nature would say no, but I have high hopes for python=)

You can use Element.insert method. It allows you to specify an index.

For example, to insert before the 3rd (index: 2) element:

>>> import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

>>>

>>> root = ET.fromstring('''

...

...

...

...

...

... ''')

>>>

>>> new = ET.Element('new')

>>> root.insert(2, new) #

>>> print(ET.tostring(root))
