lxml is the most feature-richand easy-to-use libraryfor processing XML and HTMLin the Python language.
The lxml XML toolkit is a Pythonic binding for the C librarieslibxml2 and libxslt. It is unique in that it combines the speed andXML feature completeness of these libraries with the simplicity of anative Python API, mostly compatible but superior to the well-knownElementTree API. The latest release works with all CPython versionsfrom 2.7 to 3.9. See the introduction for more information aboutbackground and goals of the lxml project. Some common questions areanswered in the FAQ.
lxml has been downloaded from the Python Package Indexmillions of times and is also available directly in many packagedistributions, e.g. for Linux or macOS.
Most people who use lxml do so because they like using it.You can show us that you like it by blogging about your experiencewith it and linking to the project website.
If you are using lxml for your work and feel like giving a bit ofyour own benefit back to support the project, consider sending usmoney through GitHub Sponsors, Tidelift or PayPal that we can useto buy us free time for the maintenance of this great library, tofix bugs in the software, review and integrate code contributions,to improve its features and documentation, or to just take a deepbreath and have a cup of tea every once in a while.Please read the Legal Notice below, at the bottom of this page.Thank you for your support.

lxml.etree follows the ElementTree API as much as possible, buildingit on top of the native libxml2 tree. If you are new to ElementTree,start with the lxml.etree tutorial for XML processing. See also theElementTree compatibility overview and the ElementTree performancepage comparing lxml to the original ElementTree and cElementTreeimplementations.
Right after the lxml.etree tutorial for XML processing and theElementTree documentation, the next place to look is the lxml.etreespecific API documentation. It describes how lxml extends theElementTree API to expose libxml2 and libxslt specific XMLfunctionality, such as XPath, Relax NG, XML Schema, XSLT, andc14n (including c14n 2.0).Python code can be called from XPath expressions and XSLTstylesheets through the use of XPath extension functions. lxmlalso offers a SAX compliant API, that works with the SAX support inthe standard library.
There is a separate module lxml.objectify that implements a data-bindingAPI on top of lxml.etree. See the objectify and etree FAQ entry for acomparison.
In addition to the ElementTree API, lxml also features a sophisticatedAPI for custom XML element classes. This is a simple way to writearbitrary XML driven APIs on top of lxml. lxml.etree also has aC-level API that can be used to efficiently extend lxml.etree inexternal C modules, including fast custom element class support.
The best way to download lxml is to visit lxml at the Python PackageIndex (PyPI). It has the sourcethat compiles on various platforms. The source distribution is signedwith this key.
The latest version is lxml 4.6.3, released 2021-03-21(changes for 4.6.3). Older versionsare listed below.
Please take a look at theinstallation instructions !
This complete web site (including the generated API documentation) ispart of the source distribution, so if you want to download thedocumentation for offline use, take the source archive and copy thedoc/html directory out of the source tree, or use thePDF documentation.
The latest installable developer sourcesare available from Github. It's also possible to check outthe latest development version of lxml from Github directly, using a commandlike this (assuming you use hg and have hg-git installed):
Alternatively, if you use git, this should work as well:
You can browse the source repository and its history throughthe web. Please read how to build lxml from sourcefirst. The latest CHANGES of the developer version are alsoaccessible. You can check there if a bug you found has been fixedor a feature you want has been implemented in the latest trunk version.
Questions? Suggestions? Code to contribute? We have a mailing list.
You can search the archive with Gmane or Google.
lxml uses the launchpad bug tracker. If you are sure you found abug in lxml, please file a bug report there. If you are not surewhether some unexpected behaviour of lxml is a bug or not, pleasecheck the documentation and ask on the mailing list first. Do notforget to search the archive (e.g. with Gmane)!
The lxml library is shipped under a BSD license. libxml2 and libxslt2itself are shipped under the MIT license. There should therefore be noobstacle to using lxml in your codebase.

In this R tutorial, We’ll learn how to schedule an R script as a CRON Job using Github Actions. Thanks to Github Actions, You don’t need a dedicated server for this kind of automation and scheduled tasks. This example can be extended for Automated Tweets or Automated Social Media Posts, Daily Data Extraction of any sort.
In this example, We’re going to use a code to extract / scrape Nifty50 (Indian Stock Exchange Index) Top Gainers Daily and store it as a csv
file which can be used for Data Analytics on those stocks.

Github Actions which usually trigger a script based on event like PR, Issue Creation can be modified using its YAML to trigger a script on a schedule (CRON).
Here’s the main.yml
file used for the Github Action.
