Parsing a whole tag by lxml.html

192 Views Asked by nazmus saif At 21 October 2024 at 04:02

I'm new to lxml and want to parse a page retrieved by "requests". My html is this:

<html>
<body>
<h1 class="entry-title">
    <a href="http://a.com" rel="bookmark">
    bla bla bla
    </a>
</h1>
</body>
</html>

and I want to have a string that looks like this:

"""<h1 class="entry-title">
    <a href="http://google.com" rel="bookmark">
    bla bla bla
    </a>
</h1>"""

what would be the code in python 3.4?
