nrrb / lxml_utils.py
Created September 19, 2014 19:53
Some utility functions for working with the Python module lxml when parsing HTML
from urlparse import urljoin
import lxml.html
def clean_xpath(path):
"""
When copying XPath from the developer console of Firefox or Chrome,
the browser inserts 'tbody' tags in table declarations which are
generally not there in the original source. These need to be removed
in order for lxml to work with said XPath expression.

Image Metadata Extraction
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
# This doesn't use any Python libraries for extracting image metadata. Instead,
# it relies on the very handy exiftool utility and parsing the results.

print 'Syntax:'
print 'python {0} edgelist.csv output.csv'.format(__file__)
