Get linenumber for ElementTree Xpath match

Question

With lxml I can get the linenumber of referenced xpath match object:

>>> results = tree.xpath('.//field[@name="name"]')
>>> first_result = results[0]
>>> print(first_result.sourceline)
6

while by using SPL's ElementTree I can't find such method exposed to .findall() match objects.

Is there any way to get the linenumber of xpath match with SPL?

Answer 1

for txt in tree.xpath('//field[@name="name"]'):

    print(txt.sourceline)

Try this
