New submission from Ben Wainwright: The findall method for ElementTree.Element handles namespace prefixes by tokenising the path and inserting the full namespace in braces based on entries in a dictionary.
Unfortunately, this does not work for a namespace without a prefix, so if you have files containing namespaces with and without prefixes, you still need to manually add the namespace url for the unprefixed path. The function xpath_tokenizer checks to see if tokens contain a colon and only adds in the namespace url in that instance. This could be changed to add the url if their is a colon, or if there is not, and the empty string key is present in the namespaces dictionary. ---------- components: Library (Lib), XML messages: 294549 nosy: ben.wainwright priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Element.findall(path, dict) doesn't insert null namespace type: behavior versions: Python 3.6 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue30485> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
