I use a modified script from Logging into facebook with python post :
#!/usr/bin/python2 -u
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
facebook_email = "[email protected]"
facebook_passwd = "YOUR_PASSWORD"
import cookielib, urllib2, urllib, time, sys
from lxml import etree
jar = cookielib.CookieJar()
cookie = urllib2.HTTPCookieProcessor(jar)
opener = urllib2.build_opener(cookie)
headers = {
"User-Agent" : "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 4_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/532.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.5 Mobile/8A293 Safari/6531.22.7",

"Accept-Charset" : "utf-8",
"Content-type": "application/x-www-form-urlencoded",

}
try:
params = urllib.urlencode({'email':facebook_email,'pass':facebook_passwd,'login':'Log+In'})
req = urllib2.Request('http://m.facebook.com/login.php?m=m&refsrc=m.facebook.com%2F', params, headers)
res = opener.open(req)
html = res.read()
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
print e.msg
except urllib2.URLError, e:
print e.reason[1]
def fetch(url):
req = urllib2.Request(url,None,headers)
res = opener.open(req)
return res.read()
body = unicode(fetch("http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=404284859586659&set=a.355112834503862.104278.354259211255891&type=1"), errors='ignore')
tree = etree.parse(body)
r = tree.xpath('/see_prev')
print r.text
When I execute the code, problems appears :

IOError: Error reading file '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD XHTML Mobile 1.0//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/xhtml-mobile10.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><head><title>Facebook</title><meta name="description" content="Facebook helps you connect and share with the people in your life."
The goal is first to get the link with id=see_prev
with lxml
, then using a while loop to open all comments, to finally fetch all messages in a file. Any help will be very appreciated !
Edit: I use Python 2.7.2 on archlinux x86_64 and lxml 2.3.3.
This is your problem:
tree = etree.parse(body)
The documentation says that "source
is a filename or file object containing XML data." You have provided a string, so lxml is taking the text of your HTTP response body as the name of the file you wish to open. No such file exists, so you get an IOError
.
The error message you get even says "Error reading file" and then gives your XML string as the name of the file it's trying to read, which is a mighty big hint about what's going on.
You probably want etree.XML()
, which takes input from a string. Or you could just do tree = etree.parse(res)
to read directly from the HTTP request into lxml (the result of opener.open()
is a file-like object, and etree.parse()
should be perfectly happy to consume it).
