pip install parsel_get_selector_text

Function: parsel_sel_get_text
This is the main function of the library, designed to extract all text results from an XPath query on a parsel Selector object.

parsel_sel (parsel.Selector): The parsel Selector object from which to extract text.
xpath (str): The XPath query string to specify the text extraction path.
fix_mojibake (bool, optional): A flag to indicate whether to fix mojibake issues in the extracted text. Default is True.

from parsel_get_selector_text import parsel_sel_get_text

html_content = """
<html>
<body>
<div id="content">
<p>Hello, world!</p>
<p>Welcome to the parsel_get_selector_text library.</p>
</div>
</body>
</html>
"""

# Create a parsel Selector object
selector = Selector(text=html_content)

# Define the XPath query
xpath_query = "//div[@id='content']/p//text()"

# Extract text using the parsel_sel_get_text function
extracted_text = parsel_sel_get_text(parsel_sel=selector, xpath=xpath_query)

print(extracted_text)
