最近新接的活，第一个任务是处理一堆xml格式的专利文件，把里面的有效信息提取出来
因为公司的相关规定不允许把文件down到本地处理，只能在对方提供的远程服务器上写代码
由于xml里面的元素是XXX:YYYY这种带前缀的格式，用xml.etree的ElementTree死活解析不出来，最后从OverStack上找到了解释
ElementTree is not too smart about namespaces. You need to give the .find(), findall() and iterfind() methods an explicit namespace dictionary. This is not documented very well:
namespaces = {‘owl‘: ‘http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#‘} # add more as needed
root.findall(‘owl:Class‘, namespaces)Prefixes are only looked up in the namespaces parameter you pass in. This means you can use any namespace prefix you like; the API splits off the owl: part, looks up the corresponding namespace URL in the namespaces dictionary, then changes the search to look for the XPath expression {http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl}Class instead.
If you can switch to the lxml library things are better; that library supports the same ElementTree API, but collects namespaces for you in a .nsmap attribute on elements.
于是果断去装lxml
服务器上已经装了python2.7，然而除此之外的东西全都没有，因此又手动装了pip
执行pip install lxml 报了一大堆错，注意到：
Could not find function xmlCheckVersion in library libxml2. Is libxml2 installed?
查到lxml还需要先安装依赖库libxml2和libxslt的开发版
yum install libxml2-devel
yum install libxslt-devel
安装好依赖库后pip还是报错
这次又认真读了一遍错误信息发现前面居然还有一行：
unable to execute gcc: No such file or directory
好吧，连gcc都没有安装，难怪无法编译
yum install gcc
安装好以后pip install，居然，还是报错！
src/lxml/lxml.etree.c:84:20: 致命错误：Python.h：没有那个文件或目录
再查资料，原来还需要安装一个python-devel，这是Python的头文件和静态库包
yum install python-devel
安装完之后再次pip install lxml
终于见到了喜闻乐见的
Successfully installed lxml
至此，linux下的lxml安装完成
