python etree遍历,Python ElementTree-按顺序遍历子节点和文本

I am using python the third and the ElementTree API. I have some xml of the form:

Over the and through the .

To Grandmother's we go.

I want to be able to iterate through the text and child nodes for a given item in order. So, for the first item, the list I want printed line by line would be:

Over the

and through the

.

But I can't figure out how to do this with ElementTree. I can get the text in order via itertext() and the child elements in order in several ways, but not them interleaved together in order. I was hoping I could use an XPath expression like ./@text|./ref, but ElementTree's subset of XPath doesn't seem to support attribute selection. If I could even just get the original raw xml contents of each item node, I could parse it out myself if necessary.

Try this:

from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

xml = """

Over the and through the .

To Grandmother's we go.

"""

root = ET.fromstring(xml)

for item in root:

if item.text:

print(item.text)

for ref in item:

print(ref)

if ref.tail:

print(ref.tail)

ElementTrees representation of "mixed content" is based on .text and .tail attributes. The .text of an element represents the text of the element up to the first child element. That child's .tail then contains the text of its parent following it. See the API doc.
