Python 2.7.2:具有iTunes XML的plistlib [英] Python 2.7.2: plistlib with itunes xml
问题描述
我正在用plistib阅读一个iTunes生成的xml播放列表. xml具有utf8标头.
I'm reading an itunes generated xml playlist with plistib. The xml has a utf8 header.
当我使用plistib读取xml时，我同时获得了unicode(例如，"Name":u'Don \ u2019t You Remember)和字节字符串(例如，"Name":"Where Eagles Dare").
When I read the xml with plistib, I get both unicode (e.g., 'Name': u'Don\u2019t You Remember') and byte strings (e.g., 'Name': 'Where Eagles Dare').
标准建议是尽快以正确的编码对您阅读的内容进行解码，并在程序中使用unicode.但是，
Standard advice is to decode what you read with the correct encoding as soon as possible and use unicode within the program. However,
unicode_string.decode('utf8')
失败(应有)
UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u2019' in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)
解决方案似乎是:
for name in names:
if isinstance(name, str):
name = name.decode('utf8')
# etc.
这是解决问题的正确方法吗?有更好的方法吗?
Is this the correct way of dealing with the problem? Is there a better way?
我在Windows 7上.
I'm on windows 7.
xml读取:
import plistlib
xml = plistlb.readPlist(fn)
for track in xml['Tracks']:
info = xml['Tracks'][track]
info['Name']
产生空闲状态:
u'Don\u2019t You Remember'
'Where Eagles Dare'
这是xml文件:

推荐答案
哇，这真是个奇怪的行为.我什至可以说，这种不统一的行为是plistlib的2.X实现中的错误. Python 3中的plistlib总是返回更好的unicode字符串.
Wow this is a really weird behaviour. I would even say that this non-uniform behaviour is a bug in the 2.X implementation of the plistlib. The plistlib in Python 3 always returns unicode strings which is much better.
但是您必须忍受它:)因此，您的问题的答案是肯定的.从plist
But you have to live with it :) So the answer to your question is yes. You should protect yourself always when reading a string from a plist
def safe_unicode(s):
if isinstance(s, unicode):
return s
return s.decode('utf-8', errors='replace')
value = safe_unicode(info['Name'])
我添加了errors='replace'，以防万一字符串没有被utf-8编码.如果无法解码，您会得到一堆\ufffd字符.如果您宁愿得到例外，请将其排除在外并使用e.decode('utf-8').
I added the errors='replace' just in case the string is not utf-8 encoded. You'll get a bunch of \ufffd characters if it cannot be decoded. If you rather get an exception just leave it out and use e.decode('utf-8').
更新:
当我尝试使用ElementTree时:
When I tried with ElementTree:
from xml.etree import ElementTree as et
tree = et.parse('test.plist')
map(lambda x: x.text, tree.findall('dict/dict/dict')[1].findall('string'))
哪个给了我
[u'Don\u2019t You Remember',
'Adele',
'21',
'Pop',
'MPEG audio file',
'7130C888606FB153',
'File',
'file://localhost/D:/music/Adele/21/04%20-%20Don%E2%80%99t%20You%20Remember.mp3']
所以有unicode和字节字符串混合:-/
So there are unicode and byte string mixed :-/
