重现

1. 拷贝代码, 运行

2. 注意代码中的url, 可以在chrome中做实验, 确实这个选择器, Firefox中XPath选择有所不同

相关代码

from __future__ import absolute_import, unicode_literals

from lxml.etree import HTML
import requests


def get_text(url):
    return requests.get(url).text

page = HTML(get_text('http://v2ex.com/?tab=hot'))
print page.xpath('//*[@id="Main"]/p[2]/p[10]/table/tbody/tr/td[3]/span[1]/a')  #这里没有选到内容, 按理来说要选到

已经尝试哪些方法仍然没有解决(附上相关链接)

1. 猜测lxml的规则有所不同? (但是使用css选择器, 则没有问题)

真是坑啊, 如果不多搜索下, 又得浪费多少时间...

lxml的官网排版就是一坨shi
