如何求python中元素树的元素个数？

Question

我是元素树的新手，在这里我试图找到元素树中元素的数量。

from lxml import etree 
root = etree.parse(open("file.xml",'r'))

有什么方法可以找到根中元素的总数吗？

Answer 1

找到所有目标元素（有一些方法可以做到这一点），然后使用内置函数len() 来获取计数。例如，如果你打算只计算 root 的直接子元素：

from lxml import etree 
doc = etree.parse("file.xml")
root = doc.getroot()

result = len(root.getchildren())

或者，如果您要计算根元素中的所有元素：

result = len(root.xpath(".//*"))

Answer 2

您不必将所有节点加载到一个列表中，您可以使用 sum 并延迟迭代：

from lxml import etree 
root = etree.parse(open("file.xml",'r'))
count = sum(1 for _ in root.iter("*"))

Answer 3

您可以这样找到每个元素的计数：

from lxml import objectify

file_root = objectify.parse('path/to/file').getroot()
file_root.countchildren()  # root's element count
file_root.YourElementName.countchildren()  # count of children in any element

Answer 4

获取子元素个数的另一种方法：

len(list(root))

Answer 5

#  I used the len(list(  )) as a way to get the list of items in a feed, as I 
# copy more items I use the original len to break out of a for loop, otherwise
# it would keep going as I add items.  Thanks ThomasW  for that code.   

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

    def feedDoublePosts(xml_file, item_dup):
        tree = ET.ElementTree(file=xml_file)
        root = tree.getroot()
        for a_post in tree.iter(item_dup):
            goround = len(list(a_post))
            for post_children in a_post:
                if post_children != a_post:
                a_post.append(post_children)
                goround -= 1
                if goround == 0:
                    break
        tree = ET.ElementTree(root)
        with open("./data/updated.xml", "w") as f:
            tree.write(f)

    # ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    if __name__ == "__main__":
        feedDoublePosts("./data/original_appt.xml", "appointment")
