Python lxml 按预定义顺序写入文件

Question

我想在我的odm xml文件中写入以下lxml etree的子元素：

<ElementProtocolat0x3803048>,
<ElementStudyEventDefat0x3803108>,
<ElementFormDefat0x3803248>,
<ElementItemGroupDefat0x38032c8>,
<ElementClinicalDataat0x3803408>,
<ElementItemGroupDataat0x38035c8>,
<ElementFormDefat0x38036c8>,

并且要按照预定义的顺序进行排列，也就是说：

<ElementProtocolat0x3803048>,
<ElementStudyEventDefat0x3803108>,
<ElementFormDefat0x3803248>,
<ElementFormDefat0x38036c8>,
<ElementItemGroupDefat0x38032c8>,
<ElementItemGroupDataat0x38035c8>,
<ElementClinicalDataat0x3803408>,
....

有没有什么方法可以按照预先定义的列表来排序这些元素呢？

predefined_order = ['Protocol', 'StudyEventDef','FormDef','ItemGroupDef','ItemDef','CodeList']

抱歉我对XML了解不多，但我只是用我基本的Python知识尝试把你的数据整理成排序的形式。

import re
data = """<ElementProtocolat0x3803048>,
<ElementStudyEventDefat0x3803108>,
<ElementFormDefat0x3803248>,
<ElementItemGroupDefat0x38032c8>,
<ElementClinicalDataat0x3803408>,
<ElementItemGroupDataat0x38035c8>,
<ElementFormDefat0x38036c8>,"""

predefined_order = ['Protocol','StudyEventDef','FormDef','ItemGroupDef','ItemGroupData','CodeList', 'ClinicalData']

fh1 = open("something.xml","w")
for i in predefined_order:
    for j in data.split(','):
        if re.search(i,j):
            fh1.write(j + ',')

输出结果：

<ElementProtocolat0x3803048>,
<ElementStudyEventDefat0x3803108>,
<ElementFormDefat0x3803248>,
<ElementFormDefat0x38036c8>,
<ElementItemGroupDefat0x38032c8>,
<ElementItemGroupDataat0x38035c8>,
<ElementClinicalDataat0x3803408>,

这个示例展示了：

• 如何读取一个XML文件，
• 元素其实是一个列表，可以像列表一样进行操作，
• 如何根据一个可匹配的子字符串的预定义顺序来排序列表，
• 如何输出一个XML文件。

from lxml import etree
import re

# Parse the XML and find the root
with open('input.xml') as input_file:
    tree = etree.parse(input_file)
root = tree.getroot()

# Find the list to sort and sort it
some_arbitrary_expression_to_find_the_list = '.'
element_list = tree.xpath(some_arbitrary_expression_to_find_the_list)[0]

predefined_order = [
    'Protocol',
    'StudyEventDef',
    'FormDef',
    'ItemGroupDef',
    'ItemGroupData',
    'ItemDef',
    'CodeList',
    'ClinicalData']
filter = re.compile(r'Element(.*)at0x.*')

element_list[:] = sorted(
    element_list[:],
    key = lambda x: predefined_order.index(filter.match(x.tag).group(1)))

# Write the XML to the output file
with open('output.xml', 'w') as output_file:
    output_file.write(etree.tostring(tree, pretty_print = True))

示例输入：

<stuff>
<ElementProtocolat0x3803048 />
<ElementStudyEventDefat0x3803108 />
<ElementFormDefat0x3803248 />
<ElementItemGroupDefat0x38032c8>Random Text</ElementItemGroupDefat0x38032c8>
<ElementClinicalDataat0x3803408 />
<ElementItemGroupDataat0x38035c8><tag1><tag2 attr="random tags"/></tag1></ElementItemGroupDataat0x38035c8>
<ElementFormDefat0x38036c8 />
</stuff>

输出：

<stuff>
<ElementProtocolat0x3803048/>
<ElementStudyEventDefat0x3803108/>
<ElementFormDefat0x3803248/>
<ElementFormDefat0x38036c8/>
<ElementItemGroupDefat0x38032c8>Random Text</ElementItemGroupDefat0x38032c8>
<ElementItemGroupDataat0x38035c8><tag1><tag2 attr="random tags"/></tag1></ElementItemGroupDataat0x38035c8>
<ElementClinicalDataat0x3803408/>
</stuff>
