[XML] How to add new element to block? - Winfried - Aug-28-2020
Hello,
Using BeautifulSoup, I can't figure out how to add a new element to the current block:
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup as Soup
with open('track.kml') as data:
kml_soup = Soup(data, 'lxml-xml') # Parse as XML
placemarks = kml_soup.find_all('Placemark')
for pm in placemarks:
if pm.find('LineString'):
print("LS found")
#How to insert new element before LineString?
#TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not callable
tag = pm.new_tag("Blah")
tag.string = "<Another>blah</Another>"
pm.string.insert_after(tag)
print(pm)Thank you.
