I need to convert spaces to %20 for api posts in a python array
tree = et.parse(os.environ['SPRINT_XML'])
olp = tree.findall(".//string")
if not olp:
print colored('FAILED', 'red') +" No jobs accociated to this view"
exit(1)
joblist = [t.text for t in olp]
How can I do that to t.text above?
Use the String.replace()
method as described here: http://www.tutorialspoint.com/python/string_replace.htm
So for t.text
, it would be t.text.replace(" ", "%20")
I would recommend using urllib.parse
module and its quote()
function.
https://docs.python.org/3.6/library/urllib.parse.html#urllib.parse.quote
Example for Python3:
from urllib.parse import quote
text_encoded = quote(t.text)
Note: using quote_plus()
won't work in your case as this function replaces spaces by plus char.
Use urllib.quote_plus for this:
import urllib
...
joblist = [urllib.quote_plus(t.text) for t in olp]
