Hello,
I'd like to find and replace an element in an HTML file. I can't figure out why
getparent() doesn't work as expected:
==============
import lxml.html
from lxml.html import builder as E
import lxml.etree as et
import lxml.etree as et
parser = et.HTMLParser(remove_blank_text=True,recover=True)
with open("template.tmpl") as tempfile:
template_tree = et.parse(tempfile, parser=parser)
template_root = template_tree.getroot()
#BAD FOO = template_root.find('.//FOO')
FOO = template_root.xpath('//FOO')
if len(FOO):
print("FOO:",FOO)
#AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'getparent'
parent = FOO.getparent()
parent.insert(parent.index(FOO)+1,ET.XML("<bar/>"))
#Remove FOO, no longer needed
else:
print("Not FOO")
==============
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you.
