Extracts all text results from an XPath query on a parsel Selector object.
Project description

parsel_text is a Python library designed to simplify the extraction of text data from HTML or XML documents using XPath queries on parsel Selector objects. It provides a straightforward interface to obtain and optionally fix mojibake (garbled text due to encoding issues).

To install parsel_text, use pip:
pip install parsel_text
Usage
Function: parsel_sel_get_text
This is the main function of the library, designed to extract all text results from an XPath query on a parsel Selector object.

parsel_sel(parsel.Selector): TheparselSelector object from which to extract text.xpath(str): The XPath query string to specify the text extraction path.fix_mojibake(bool, optional): A flag to indicate whether to fix mojibake issues in the extracted text. Default isTrue.

Here's a simple example of how to use the parsel_sel_get_text function:
from parsel import Selector
from parsel_text import parsel_sel_get_text
html_content = """
<html>
<body>
<div id="content">
<p>Hello, world!</p>
<p>Welcome to the parsel_text library.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
"""
# Create a parsel Selector object
selector = Selector(text=html_content)
# Define the XPath query
xpath_query = "//div[@id='content']/p//text()"
# Extract text using the parsel_sel_get_text function
extracted_text = parsel_sel_get_text(parsel_sel=selector, xpath=xpath_query)
print(extracted_text)
Output
Hello, world!
Welcome to the parsel_text library.
