Hi, I've a xml svg file and I would like to update it with Python.
First, I would like to fetch one dom node with getElementByID. I've one issue about this method. This is my example : My SVG file : """ <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <!-- Created with Inkscape (http://www.inkscape.org/) --> <svg:svg xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"; xmlns:cc="http://creativecommons.org/ns#"; xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"; xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"; xmlns:sodipodi="http://sodipodi.sourceforge.net/DTD/sodipodi-0.dtd"; xmlns:inkscape="http://www.inkscape.org/namespaces/inkscape"; width="210mm" height="297mm" id="svg2383" sodipodi:version="0.32" inkscape:version="0.46" sodipodi:docname="product_page.svg" inkscape:output_extension="org.inkscape.output.svg.inkscape"> </svg:svg> """ $ ipython In [1]: from xml.dom import minidom In [2]: dom1 = minidom.parse("myfile.svg") In [3]: print(dom1.getElementById(u"svg2383")) None In [4]: print(dom1.getElementById("svg2383")) None I don't understand why getElementById return always None. Other example with libxml2dom library : $ ipython In [1]: import libxml2dom In [2]: dom2 = libxml2dom.parseFile("myfile.svg") In [3]: print(dom2.getElementById(u"svg2383")) None In [4]: print(dom2.getElementById("svg2383")) I don't understand why getElementById return always None. Well, my final purpose isn't to fetch root dom node but to fetch many other sub node. Thanks for your informations. Stephane -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
