How to remove all attributes from element

Question

How to remove all attributes of the specific elements througout the document. I\'m trying something like this:

from bs4 import UnicodeDammit
from lxml import         


        

Answer 1

This is one possible way, assuming that you want to remove all attributes of certain element, say table :

for table in root.xpath('//table[@*]'):
    table.attrib.clear()

The code above loop through all table that contains any attribute, then call clear() method of the elemet's attrib property, since the property is simply a python dictionary.
