XPath - 提取具有不規則圖案的表格數據

Question

擴展現有問題和答案here，我試圖提取玩家名稱和他的位置。輸出想：

playername, position 
EJ Manuel, Quarterbacks 
Tyrod Taylor, Quarterbacks 
Anthony Dixon, Running backs 
... 

這是我迄今所做的：

tree = html.fromstring(requests.get("https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_current_AFC_team_rosters").text) 

for h3 in tree.xpath("//table[@class='toccolours']//tr[2]"): 
    position = h3.xpath(".//b/text()") 
    players = h3.xpath(".//ul/li/a/text()") 
    print(position, players) 

以上代碼可以在我需要的格式提供以下，但不是。

有什麼建議嗎？

Answer 1

您可以使用嵌套循環完成這個任務。通過位置第一循環，然後，對每個位置，依次通過相應的球員：

#loop through positions 
for b in tree.xpath("//table[@class='toccolours']//tr[2]//b"): 
    #get current position text 
    position = b.xpath("text()")[0] 
    #get players that correspond to the current position 
    for a in b.xpath("following::ul[1]/li/a[not(*)]"): 
     #get current player text 
     player = a.xpath("text()")[0] 
     #print current position and player together 
     print(position, player) 

最後輸出的一部分：
