How to read text location from ezdxf

Question

I created a program that searches through multiple subdirectories, reads a specific .txt file and finds the relevant info then stores it in a list. It then needs to open a dxf, read the text, if a certain condition is met, replace the text from list, then write the text to the same location. The problem is I can't find a way to find the text location from reading the ezdxf documentation. In the example, they're using a line

    print("LINE on layer: %s\n" % e.dxf.layer)
    print("start point: %s\n" % e.dxf.start)
    print("end point: %s\n" % e.dxf.end)

so I just modified mine to read

def print_entity(e):
    print(e.dxf.text)
    print(e.dxftype())
    print(e.pos)
    print(e.start)
    print(e.location)
    
for e in msp.query('TEXT[layer=="TEXT"]'):
    print_entity(e)

However none of those give me the position of the text. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Try print(e.insert) to get the coordinates

Answer 2

Found in EzDxf documentation

get_placement() ? Tuple[TextEntityAlignment, Vec3, Optional[Vec3]]

Returns a tuple (align, p1, p2), align is the alignment enum TextEntityAlignment, p1 is the alignment point, p2 is only relevant if align is ALIGNED or FIT, otherwise it is None.
