Python: Using xpath locally / on a specific element
Another option would be to ask directly for elements inside your table.For instance:
tree = lxml.html.parse(some_response)links = tree.xpath("//table[**criteria**]//a[contains(@href, 'http://www.example.com/filter/')]")Where **criteria** is necessary if there are many tables in the page. Some possible criteria would be to filter based on the table id or class. For instance:
links = tree.xpath("//table[@id='my_table_id']//a[contains(@href, 'http://www.example.com/filter/')]")
