How to compose an xpath query in python?

Question

Python

r = s.get(url, headers=headers)
    tree = html.fromstring(r.text)
    our_path = f'//*[@data-id="{data_id}"]'
    a = tree.xpath(our_path)
    b = tree.xpath('//title/text()')

When I get b, then everything is OK, there is a text output. in a the answer is:

[<Element tr at 0x16544a82590>, <InputElement 16544a82040 name=None type='checkbox'>] None

The question is how to get xml data?

Answer 1

So you got the elements - take and get data from there ...
At least the text a[0].text , at least the contents of the tags a[0].get('tag') , at least the element itself in text form entirely using etree.tostring (a[0], pretty_print=True)
