error at converting xml-file into python object
I’m trying to parse an XML-file into a python object. Someone else had a similar question, and here’s the link to that:
Parse XML file into Python object
My code looks as follows:
from lxml import tree import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET tree = etree.parse("part_000001.xml") #load file tree.xinclude() #recursively includes files string = etree.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True).decode("utf-8") #decode will convert bytes into string print(string) new_tree=ET.fromstring(string) #THIS LINE DOESNT WORK adding the last line of code results into an error. The string I am using is not a multi-line string, but an ordinary string in the form " … ", could that be an issue?
Here’s what the error looks like:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line unknown ParseError: unbound prefix: line 12, column 17
