解析XML并写入CSV文件 - python

我正在用我编写的简单脚本(有一些调整)来解析一个简单的XML文档。这是XML:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<library owner="James Wise">
 <book>
  <title>Sandman Volume 1: Preludes and Nocturnes</title>
  <author>Neil Gaiman</author>
 </book>
 <book>
  <title>Good Omens</title>
  <author>Neil Gamain</author>
  <author>Terry Pratchett</author>
 </book>
 <book>
  <title>The Man And The Goat</title>
  <author>Bubber Elderidge</author>
 </book>
 <book>
  <title>Once Upon A Time in LA</title>
  <author>Dr Dre</author>
 </book>
 <book>
  <title>There Will Never Be Justice</title>
  <author>IR Jury</author>
 </book>
 <book>
  <title>Beginning Python</title>
  <author>Peter Norton, et al</author>
 </book>
</library>

这是我的Python脚本:

from xml.dom.minidom import parse
import xml.dom.minidom
import csv

def writeToCSV(myLibrary):
  csvfile = open('output.csv', 'w')
  fieldnames = ['title', 'author', 'author']
  writer = csv.DictWriter(csvfile, fieldnames=fieldnames)
  writer.writeheader()

  books = myLibrary.getElementsByTagName("book")
  for book in books:
    titleValue = book.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0].data
    for author in book.getElementsByTagName("author"):
      authorValue = author.childNodes[0].data
      writer.writerow({'title': titleValue, 'author': authorValue})


doc = parse('library.xml')
myLibrary = doc.getElementsByTagName("library")[0]

# Get book elements in Library
books = myLibrary.getElementsByTagName("book")

# Print each book's title
writeToCSV(myLibrary)

这是我的输出:

title,author

Sandman Volume 1: Preludes and Nocturnes,Neil Gaiman

Good Omens,Neil Gamain

Good Omens,Terry Pratchett

The Man And The Goat,Bubber Elderidge

Once Upon A Time in LA,Dr Dre

There Will Never Be Justice,IR Jury

Beginning Python,"Peter Norton, et al"

请注意，这本书“ Good Omens”有2位作者，分别显示在两行上。我真正想要的是显示如下:

title,author,author

Sandman Volume 1: Preludes and Nocturnes,Neil Gaiman,,

Good Omens,Neil Gamain,Terry Pratchett

The Man And The Goat,Bubber Elderidge,,

Once Upon A Time in LA,Dr Dre,,

There Will Never Be Justice,IR Jury,,

Beginning Python,"Peter Norton, et al",,

如您所见，共有3列，因此两位作者显示在同一行上。那些只有一位作者的书，只是一个空白条目，所以两个逗号相邻。

python大神给出的解决方案

这是另一种可能的解决方案:

码:

#! /usr/bin/python

from xml.dom.minidom import parse
import xml.dom.minidom
import csv

def writeToCSV(myLibrary):
    with open('output.csv', 'wb') as csvfile:
        writer = csv.writer(csvfile, delimiter=',',quotechar='"', quoting=csv.QUOTE_MINIMAL)
        writer.writerow(['title', 'author', 'author'])
        books = myLibrary.getElementsByTagName("book")
        for book in books:
            titleValue = book.getElementsByTagName("title")[0].childNodes[0].data
            authors = [] # get all the authors in a vector
            for author in book.getElementsByTagName("author"):
                authors.append(author.childNodes[0].data)
            writer.writerow([titleValue] + authors) # write to csv

doc = parse('library.xml')
myLibrary = doc.getElementsByTagName("library")[0]
# Print each book's title
writeToCSV(myLibrary)

输出:

title,author,author
Sandman Volume 1: Preludes and Nocturnes,Neil Gaiman
Good Omens,Neil Gamain,Terry Pratchett
The Man And The Goat,Bubber Elderidge
Once Upon A Time in LA,Dr Dre
There Will Never Be Justice,IR Jury
Beginning Python,"Peter Norton, et al"

亲切的问候，
