I recently converted a project from using a custom implementation of
xml.dom.minidom to using EelemntTree that comes with python2.5+ and
found myself wishing for a find(tag_or_path) method that would do so iteratively instead of just on the current elements direct children.
This is possible with the code as written;
looking_for = None
for el in etree.getiterator(tag_or_path):
looking_for = el
break
I have to do this type of action so often in my code that I just decided
to grab the python implementation of etree that came with py2.6 and
include it with my app and patch in an iter_find method as the instant
break for loop is just asking for maintenance issues down the road what
I forget why I was breaking on the first loop no matter what. |
