Python Question
Parsing part of an input tag with lxml and Python
I have an input-tag looking like this:
<input name="sheet" value="5B" tabindex="994" data-enpassid="__11" type="submit">
No I want to get only the content given to the value-attribute (5B in this case). Is this possibe using lxml and if so, how?

Try this. I've created two expressions using css selector and xpath. They both will give you 5B as result:
html='''
<input name="sheet" value="5B" tabindex="994" data-enpassid="__11" type="submit">
'''
from lxml.html import fromstring
root = fromstring(html)
item = root.cssselect("input")[0].attrib['value']
item1 = root.xpath("//input/@value")[0]
print(item, item1)
Result:
5B, 5B
