How to get path of an element in lxml?

by

Use getpath from ElementTree objects.

from lxml import etree
    
root = etree.fromstring('''
    <foo><bar>Data</bar><bar><baz>data</baz>
    <baz>data</baz></bar></foo>
    ''')
    
tree = etree.ElementTree(root)
for e in root.iter():
    print(tree.getpath(e))

Prints

/foo
/foo/bar[1]
/foo/bar[2]
/foo/bar[2]/baz[1]
/foo/bar[2]/baz[2]
