python - 从chrome中copy出来的XPath,在lxml.etree.HTML中无法生效是怎么回事?

Question

描述问题

想对html内容使用XPath选择器
步骤是:

1. 种chrome右键得到XPath选择器

2. 在lxml中使用

但是:

1. 按理来说能选到, 但是返回的是空列表

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

报错信息

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)

What a trap. If you don’t search more, how much time will be wasted...
