python读取xml文件etree_在python中使用Etree解析XML配置文件

Please help me parse a configuration file of the below prototype using lxml etree. I tried with for event, element with tostring. Unfortunately I don't need the text, but the XML between

for a given attribute.

I started with this code, but get a key error while searching for the attribute since it scans from start

config_tree = etree.iterparse(token_template_file)

for event, element in config_tree:

if element.attrib['name']=="ad auth":

print ("attrib reached. get XML before child ends")

Since I am a newbie to XML and python, I am not sure how to go about it. Here is the config file:

pass

username

someapp

pass1

username1

someapp

Thanks in advance!

Expected Output:

Say the user requests the config2- then the output should look like:

pass1

username1

someapp

(I send this XML using httplib2 to a server for initial authentication)

FINAL CODE:

thanks to FC and Constantnius. Here is the final code:

config_tree = etree.parse(token_template_file)

for template in config_tree.iterfind("template"):

if template.get("name") == "config2":

element = etree.tostring(template.find("request"))

print (template.get("name"))

print (element)

output:

config2

pass1

username1

someapp

You could try to iterate over all template elements in the XML and parse them with the following code:

for template in root.iterfind("template"):

name = template.get("name")

request = template.find(requst)

password = template.findtext("request/password")

username = ...

...

# Do something with the values
