I have an xml of following type:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RootNode>
<childElem>
<prop1 type="int">1</prop1>
<prop2 type="int">2</prop2>
</childelem>
<childElem>
<prop1 type="int">3</prop1>
<prop2 type="int">4</prop2>
</childelem>
<childElem>
<prop1 type="int">5</prop1>
<prop2 type="int">6</prop2>
</childelem>
<childElem>
<prop1 type="int">7</prop1>
<prop2 type="int">8</prop2>
</childelem>
</RootNode>
I have defined class to store all child elements as different instance of the class.
I am trying to append the objects in a list and then retrieving.
in this xml there are total 4 childelem.
I have printed the properties of each object after creating each object.
There I am seeing each object has different property values.
But after that when I am trying to retrieve each object from the list in a for loop and printing properties of each retrieved object, it's printing last childelem object four times.
Here is the code snippet
def getObjects(self,xmlStr,elem):
objList = []
root = ET.fromstring(xmlStr)
rootNode = root.find(elem)
for obj in rootNode.findall('childElem'):
myObj = Obj()
for props in obj:
myObj.populate(props.tag,props.text)
print(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<")
print(myObj.getProps())
print(">>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<")
objList.append(myObj)
for obj1 in objList:
print(obj1.getProps())
print("@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@")
return objList
class Obj:
properties = {}
def populate(self,name,value):
self.properties[name] = value
def getProps(self)
return self.properties
I am new to Python, can some one explain what is wrong?
Why in the retrieval for loop only last childElem is coming four times?
How can I rectify the error?
here is the out put
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
{'prop1': '1', 'prop2': '2'}
