Okay, this is starting to drive me a little bit nuts. I've tried several xml/xpath libraries for Python, and can't figure out a simple way to get a stinkin' "title" element. The latest attempt looks like this (using Amara): def view(req, url): req.content_type = 'text/plain' doc = amara.parse(urlopen(url)) for node in doc.x...
How do node.XPathSelectElement() and node.XPathSelectElements() behave when the selection is either not a NodeSet or a NodeSet containing non-Elements? For example do they always return something or can they throw Exceptions? can the return value be null or is it always an IEnumerable of some sort? The XML searched is constant: <a> <b...
Hi, is there a way (and if so, how ?) to traverse a XPath query recursively ? I have an AST in Java with the following scenario @Relevant public void foo() { bar(true); } public void bar(boolean flag) { assert flag; } I want to find the method which is annotated with '@Relevant' (thats easy) and check if the method which is ca...

Hi there! I'm learning XSLT, and as an exercise, I'm trying to get the top links of http://ptchan.org/fa/, namely {al, az, fa, ga, li, tm}. To do so, I've created the following XSL Template: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.o...
I have the following code, whose last line results in a NotSupportedException on every execution, and I haven't found a way around it. This hypothetical analogous code finds a "book" with a specific title, with the goal of updating it to the new title. It does find the correct node, but fails to update it. XPathDocument xpathDoc = new X...

I'm using this XP...
