lxml:将命名空间添加到输入文件

Question

我正在解析由外部程序生成的xml文件.然后,我想使用自己的命名空间向此文件添加自定义注释.我的输入如下:

<sbml xmlns="http://www.sbml.org/sbml/level2/version4" xmlns:celldesigner="http://www.sbml.org/2001/ns/celldesigner" level="2" version="4">
  <model metaid="untitled" id="untitled">
    <annotation>...</annotation>
    <listOfUnitDefinitions>...</listOfUnitDefinitions>
    <listOfCompartments>...</listOfCompartments>
    <listOfSpecies>
      <species metaid="s1" id="s1" name="GenA" compartment="default" initialAmount="0">
        <annotation>
          <celldesigner:extension>...</celldesigner:extension>
        </annotation>
      </species>
      <species metaid="s2" id="s2" name="s2" compartment="default" initialAmount="0">
        <annotation>
           <celldesigner:extension>...</celldesigner:extension>
        </annotation>
      </species>
    </listOfSpecies>
    <listOfReactions>...</listOfReactions>
  </model>
</sbml>

问题是lxml只在使用时声明名称空间,这意味着声明会重复多次,如此(简化):

<sbml xmlns="namespace" xmlns:celldesigner="morenamespace" level="2" version="4">
  <listOfSpecies>
    <species>
      <kjw:test xmlns:kjw="http://this.is.some/custom_namespace"/>
      <celldesigner:data>Some important data which must be kept</celldesigner:data>
    </species>
    <species>
      <kjw:test xmlns:kjw="http://this.is.some/custom_namespace"/>
    </species>
    ....
  </listOfSpecies>
</sbml>

是否可以强制lxml在父元素中只写一次此声明,例如sbml或listOfSpecies？或者有充分的理由不这样做吗？我想要的结果是:

<sbml xmlns="namespace" xmlns:celldesigner="morenamespace" level="2" version="4"  xmlns:kjw="http://this.is.some/custom_namespace">
  <listOfSpecies>
    <species>
      <kjw:test/>
      <celldesigner:data>Some important data which must be kept</celldesigner:data>
    </species>
    <species>
      <kjw:test/>
    </species>
    ....
  </listOfSpecies>
</sbml>

重要的问题是必须保留从文件中读取的现有数据,因此我不能只创建一个新的根元素(我想？).

编辑:下面的代码.

def annotateSbml(sbml_input):
  from lxml import etree

  checkSbml(sbml_input) # Makes sure the input is valid sbml/xml.

  ns = "http://this.is.some/custom_namespace"
  etree.register_namespace('kjw', ns)

  sbml_doc = etree.ElementTree()
  root = sbml_doc.parse(sbml_input, etree.XMLParser(remove_blank_text=True))
  nsmap = root.nsmap
  nsmap['sbml'] = nsmap[None] # Makes code more readable, but seems ugly. Any alternatives to this?
  nsmap['kjw'] = ns
  ns = '{' + ns + '}'
  sbmlns = '{' + nsmap['sbml'] + '}'

  for species in root.findall('sbml:model/sbml:listOfSpecies/sbml:species', nsmap):
    species.append(etree.Element(ns + 'test'))

  sbml_doc.write("test.sbml.xml", pretty_print=True, xml_declaration=True)

  return

在lxml中无法修改节点的命名空间映射.查看此功能作为心愿单项目的此打开的票证.

它起源于lxml邮件列表中的此线程,其中替换根节点的替代方法.更换根节点存在一些问题:请参阅上面的故障单.

为了完整起见,我将把建议的根替换解决方法代码放在这里:

>>> DOC = """<sbml xmlns="http://www.sbml.org/sbml/level2/version4" xmlns:celldesigner="http://www.sbml.org/2001/ns/celldesigner" level="2" version="4">
...   <model metaid="untitled" id="untitled">
...     <annotation>...</annotation>
...     <listOfUnitDefinitions>...</listOfUnitDefinitions>
...     <listOfCompartments>...</listOfCompartments>
...     <listOfSpecies>
...       <species metaid="s1" id="s1" name="GenA" compartment="default" initialAmount="0">
...         <annotation>
...           <celldesigner:extension>...</celldesigner:extension>
...         </annotation>
...       </species>
...       <species metaid="s2" id="s2" name="s2" compartment="default" initialAmount="0">
...         <annotation>
...            <celldesigner:extension>...</celldesigner:extension>
...         </annotation>
...       </species>
...     </listOfSpecies>
...     <listOfReactions>...</listOfReactions>
...   </model>
... </sbml>"""

Answer 2

我知道这是个老问题，但它仍然有效，从 lxml 3.5.0 开始，这个问题可能有更好的解决方案：

cleanup_namespaces()接受一个新参数top_nsmap，将提供的前缀命名空间映射的定义移动到树的顶部。

所以现在命名空间映射可以通过简单的调用来向上移动：

nsmap = {'kjw': 'http://this.is.some/custom_namespace'}
etree.cleanup_namespaces(root, top_nsmap=nsmap)
