我很受伤，没有人建议熊猫。Pandas有一个read_xml()函数，它非常适合这种扁平的xml结构。

import pandas as pd

xml = """<foo>
   <bar>
      <type foobar="1"/>
      <type foobar="2"/>
   </bar>
</foo>"""

df = pd.read_xml(xml, xpath=".//type")
print(df)

输出:

   foobar
0       1
1       2

XML:

<foo>
   <bar>
      <type foobar="1"/>
      <type foobar="2"/>
   </bar>
</foo>

Python代码:

import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse("foo.xml")
root = tree.getroot() 
root_tag = root.tag
print(root_tag) 

for form in root.findall("./bar/type"):
    x=(form.attrib)
    z=list(x)
    for i in z:
        print(x[i])

输出:

foo
1
2

xml.etree.ElementTree vs. lxml

下面是两个最常用的库的一些优点，在进行选择之前，我应该了解它们。

xml.etree.ElementTree:

来自标准库:不需要安装任何模块

lxml

轻松编写XML声明:例如，您是否需要添加standalone="no"? 漂亮的打印:无需额外代码就可以得到漂亮的缩进XML。 Objectify功能:它允许您像处理普通的Python对象hierarchy.node一样使用XML。 sourceline允许您轻松地获取正在使用的XML元素的行。 您还可以使用内置的XSD模式检查器。

simplified_scrapy:一个新的库，我使用后就爱上了它。我向你推荐。

from simplified_scrapy import SimplifiedDoc
xml = '''
<foo>
   <bar>
      <type foobar="1"/>
      <type foobar="2"/>
   </bar>
</foo>
'''

doc = SimplifiedDoc(xml)
types = doc.selects('bar>type')
print (len(types)) # 2
print (types.foobar) # ['1', '2']
print (doc.selects('bar>type>foobar()')) # ['1', '2']

这里有更多的例子。这个库很容易使用。

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
data = '''<foo>
           <bar>
               <type foobar="1"/>
               <type foobar="2"/>
          </bar>
       </foo>'''
tree = ET.fromstring(data)
lst = tree.findall('bar/type')
for item in lst:
    print item.get('foobar')

这将打印foobar属性的值。

如果您不想使用任何外部库或第三方工具，请尝试下面的代码。

这将把xml解析成python字典 这也将解析xml属性 这也将解析空标签，如<tag/>和只有属性的标签，如<tag var=val/>

Code

import re

def getdict(content):
    res=re.findall("<(?P<var>\S*)(?P<attr>[^/>]*)(?:(?:>(?P<val>.*?)</(?P=var)>)|(?:/>))",content)
    if len(res)>=1:
        attreg="(?P<avr>\S+?)(?:(?:=(?P<quote>['\"])(?P<avl>.*?)(?P=quote))|(?:=(?P<avl1>.*?)(?:\s|$))|(?P<avl2>[\s]+)|$)"
        if len(res)>1:
            return [{i[0]:[{"@attributes":[{j[0]:(j[2] or j[3] or j[4])} for j in re.findall(attreg,i[1].strip())]},{"$values":getdict(i[2])}]} for i in res]
        else:
            return {res[0]:[{"@attributes":[{j[0]:(j[2] or j[3] or j[4])} for j in re.findall(attreg,res[1].strip())]},{"$values":getdict(res[2])}]}
    else:
        return content

with open("test.xml","r") as f:
    print(getdict(f.read().replace('\n','')))
