Selector.root is not an instance of lxml.html.HtmlElement even if parser is html
See original GitHub issueI’m trying to use lxml.Cleaner without parsing response multiple times:
from lxml.html.clean import Cleaner
cleaner = Cleaner()
sel = parsel.Selector("<html><body><style>.p {width:10px}</style>hello</body></html>"
cleaner.clean_html(sel.root)
This doesn’t work because Cleaner needs a lxml.html.HtmlElement instance, while Selector.root is always lxml.etree._Element, so it doesn’t have a required .rewrite_links method.
Why is lxml.etree.HtmlParser used for html and not lxml.html.HtmlParser?
