I am getting the data in HTML table format from external source -
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
s = """<table>
<tr><th>Release</th><th>REFDB</th><th>URL</th></tr>
<tr><td>3.7.3</td><td>12345</td><td>http://google.com</td></tr>
<tr><td>3.7.4</td><td>456789</td><td>http://foo.com</td></tr>
</table>
"""
For converting html table to dictionary
table = ET.XML(s)
rows = iter(table)
headers = [col.text for col in next(rows)]
for row in rows:
values = [col.text for col in row]
out = dict(zip(headers, values))
now my expected output is as below given that I will pass the Release version from command line argument.
$ python myscript.py 3.7.3 (I have a code for this)
I am looking for a solution to loop over the dictionary when it finds the particular Release Version - in my case it is 3.7.3
Release Version - 3.7.3
REFDB - 12345
URL - http://google.com
You don't need a dictionary. Just parse each row's content and see if release version matches your input:
#coding:utf-8
import sys
from lxml import html
if len(sys.argv) != 2:
raise Exception("Please provide release version only")
release_input = sys.argv[1].strip()
data = """<table>
<tr><th>Release</th><th>REFDB</th><th>URL</th></tr>
<tr><td>3.7.3</td><td>12345</td><td>http://google.com</td></tr>
<tr><td>3.7.4</td><td>456789</td><td>http://foo.com</td></tr>
</table>
"""
tree = html.fromstring(data)
for row in tree.xpath('//tr')[1:]:
release, refbd, url = row.xpath('.//td/text()')
if release_input == release:
print("Release Version - {}".format(release))
print("REFBD - {}".format(refbd))
print("URL - {}".format(url))
break
print("{} release version wasn't found".format(release_input))
Assuming that there's only one row per version and you don't need the other versions at all you could create a function that parses the HTML and returns dict
representing version as soon as it's found. If version is not found it could return None
instead:
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
s = """<table>
<tr><th>Release</th><th>REFDB</th><th>URL</th></tr>
<tr><td>3.7.3</td><td>12345</td><td>http://google.com</td></tr>
<tr><td>3.7.4</td><td>456789</td><td>http://foo.com</td></tr>
</table>
"""
def find_version(ver):
table = ET.XML(s)
rows = iter(table)
headers = [col.text for col in next(rows)]
for row in rows:
values = [col.text for col in row]
out = dict(zip(headers, values))
if out['Release'] == ver:
return out
return None
res = find_version('3.7.3')
if res:
for x in res.items():
print(' - '.join(x))
else:
print 'Version not found'
Output:
Release - 3.7.3
URL - http://google.com
REFDB - 12345

If you accumulate the dictionaries in a list:
result = []
for row in rows:
values = [col.text for col in row]
result.append(dict(zip(headers, values)))
You can filter the list -
import operator
value = '3.7.3'
release = operator.itemgetter('Release')
refdb = operator.itemgetter('REFDB')
url = operator.itemgetter('URL')
data = [d for d in result if release(d) == value]
Then print all the dictionaries that got past the filter -
f_string = 'Release Version - {}\nREFDB - {}\nURL - {}'
for d in data:
print(f_string.format(release(d), refdb(d), url(d)))
