parsing large xml file with Python - etree.parse error

Question

Trying to parse the following Python file using the lxml.etree.iterparse function.

\"sampleoutput.xml\"

Answer 1

The problem is that XML isn't well-formed if it doesn't have exactly one top-level tag. You can fix your sample by wrapping the entire document in tags. You also need the tags to match the query that you're using (description).

The following document produces correct results with your existing code:

  
    
    Description 1
  
  
    
    Description 2
