python解析xml简单示例
本文实例讲述了python解析xml的方法。分享给大家供大家参考，具体如下：
xml是除了json之外另外一个比较常用的用来做为数据交换的载体格式。对于一些比较固定的数据，直接保存在xml中，还可以免去去数据库中查询的麻烦。而且直接读小文件，性能比查询数据库应该更好，下面一个例子，如何用python解析xml数据，xml数据是省份，城市 数据，内容如下：

用python 代码的解析方法如下：
import xml.dom.minidom
def get_citys():
city_xml = open(os.path.join(os.path.normpath(os.path.dirname(__file__)),'city.xml'))
doc = xml.dom.minidom.parse(city_xml)
citys = []
provinces = doc.getElementsByTagName('province')
for item in provinces:
entry = {'province':'','citys':[]}
province = item.getAttribute('name')
entry['province'] = province
for city in item.getElementsByTagName('city'):
city = city.getAttribute('name')
entry['citys'].append(city)
citys.append(entry)
return citys
这样就可以解析出数据了，其他的类似。
