How to get src of img with lxml in python?

Question

I try to parse src from image tag in python with lxml, but when I try to output imageurl I get following:

[<Element img at 0x921f68c>]

Here is my code:

xhtml = lxml.html.document_fromstring(html)
imageUrl = xhtml.xpath('//img[@alt="something"]')

Answer 1

Just append /@src to your xpath expression:

imageUrl = xhtml.xpath('//img[@alt="something"]/@src')
