#练习：计算movie文件中有多少个名字叫War, Thriller的电影

import sys

try:

import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET

except ImportError:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse("e:\\movie.xml")

count = 0

for elem in tree.iter(tag='movie'): #遍历树中的movie节点

print elem.tag

if elem[0].text == 'War, Thriller':

count += 1

print count

#以下代码实现了边读文件边解析的作用，节省了内存

count = 0

for event, elem in ET.iterparse("e:\\movie.xml"): #遍历所有xml文件中的标签

#print elem.tag

if event == 'end': #检测“闭合的”(end)事件，标签关闭

if elem.tag == 'type' and elem.text == 'War, Thriller': #标签为type，且文本内容为War, Thriller ,则count+1

count += 1

elem.clear() #清除元素内容,不清除则整个儿树也会在内存中，没有起到节省内存的作用。

print count
