Hello,
I'm still learning about lxml, and was wondering if there's a way to get the
tree from the root to avoid writing the file to disk before re-reading it just
for that:
============
INPUTFILE = "input.kml"
#get rid of NS
with open(INPUTFILE) as reader:
content = reader.read()
content= re.sub('<kml.*?>', '<kml>', content,0, re.DOTALL)
#Read from memory to avoid writing cleaned file to disk and re-read
parser = et.XMLParser(remove_blank_text=True)
root = et.fromstring(bytes(content, encoding='utf8'), parser)
#NameError: name 'tree' is not defined
r = tree.xpath('/Document/name')
print(r[0].tag)
============
Thank you.
