Scrapy Xpath return 空列表

Scrapy Xpath return empty list

如果 Xpath 使用包含函数

response.xpath('//table[contains(@class, "wikitable sortable")]')

但是它 return 是空的,使用下面的代码:

response.xpath('//table[@class="wikitable sortable jquery-tablesorter"]')

关于为什么它 return 是一个空列表的任何解释?

有关详细信息,我正在尝试从此网站 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_population 中提取地区排名 table 作为练习。

您可以仅使用 pandas 轻松提取地区排名 table,如下所示:

代码:

import pandas as pd
dfs = pd.read_html('https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_population',attrs={'class':'wikitable sortable'})
df = dfs[0]#.to_csv('d.csv')
print(df)

输出:
