Iterparse object has no attribute next
celementtree, iterparse, memory, python
Solution
Assuming you are using Python3, the iterator syntax is `next(context)` instead of `context.next()`
Problem
I am parsing a 700mb file, I have the following code with works fine on my test file without the line context.iter(context) and event, elem = context.next(). ``` form xml.etree import cElementTree as ET source = ("AAT.xml") context = iter(context) event, root = context.next() for event, elem in context: if event == event("end"): some processing... elem.clear() root.clear() ``` However when I move on to iterparse the 700mb the file it still crashes out. Having read: Should memory usage increase when using ElementTree.iterparse() when clear()ing trees? I believe this is because I need to clear the root, however having followed a few tutorials which I have incorporated above I'm continually getting an error: ``` line 9, in <module> event, root = context.next() AttributeError: 'iterparse' object has no attribute 'next' ``` I'm still new to Python and I cannot work out why this is happening, as far as I can see I am in line with the examples.
