Hello. My code stopped working after an update at some point. Is this a case of my "backend" changing?
The following code
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
svgtext=open('test.svg','r').read()
# Load into Beautiful Soup
soup = BeautifulSoup(svgtext, selfClosingTags=['defs','sodipodi:namedview'])
# Find geographic groups
paths = soup.findAll('g')
print paths[3]
returns a piece of text which does not exist in the source svg
(attached). The entire path (the actual country's borders) that
should be inside this group <g ... /g> is now excluded, rendering
the output useless.
That is, for me the above returns:
<g class="land mg" id="mg" transform="matrix(1.229834,0,0,1.1888568,-278.10861,-149.0924)" style="1;stroke:#ffffff;stroke-width:0.99986994;stroke-miterlimit:3.97446823;stroke-dasharray:none;stroke-opacity:1">
</g>
while what it used to return included a whole lot of <path> tags following the content above, but before the </g>.
(I'm on Ubuntu 15.04 with BeautifulSoup 3.2.1)
BeautifulSoup.__version__
Out[2]: '3.2.1'
I have html5lib and lxml installed.
