Install lxml

The first thing you need to pip install lxml Install the lxml library.

If you encounter the following error on ubuntu:


#include "libxml/xmlversion.h"
compilation terminated.

Please install the following dependencies:


sudo apt-get install libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev

Python code

The following is the code to generate the sitemap and sitemapindex indexes. You can pass in the required parameters or add fields according to the requirements:


#!/usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding:utf-8 -*-

import io
import re
from lxml import etree


def generate_xml(filename, url_list):
  """Generate a new xml file use url_list"""
  root = etree.Element('urlset',
             xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9")
  for each in url_list:
    url = etree.Element('url')
    loc = etree.Element('loc')
    loc.text = each
    url.append(loc)
    root.append(url)

  header = u'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n'
  s = etree.tostring(root, encoding='utf-8', pretty_print=True)
  with io.open(filename, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    f.write(unicode(header+s))


def update_xml(filename, url_list):
  """Add new url_list to origin xml file."""
  f = open(filename, 'r')
  lines = [i.strip() for i in f.readlines()]
  f.close()

  old_url_list = []
  for each_line in lines:
    d = re.findall('<loc>(http:\/\/.+)<\/loc>', each_line)
    old_url_list += d
  url_list += old_url_list

  generate_xml(filename, url_list)


def generatr_xml_index(filename, sitemap_list, lastmod_list):
  """Generate sitemap index xml file."""
  root = etree.Element('sitemapindex',
             xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9")
  for each_sitemap, each_lastmod in zip(sitemap_list, lastmod_list):
    sitemap = etree.Element('sitemap')
    loc = etree.Element('loc')
    loc.text = each_sitemap
    lastmod = etree.Element('lastmod')
    lastmod.text = each_lastmod
    sitemap.append(loc)
    sitemap.append(lastmod)
    root.append(sitemap)

  header = u'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>\n'
  s = etree.tostring(root, encoding='utf-8', pretty_print=True)
  with io.open(filename, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    f.write(unicode(header+s))


if __name__ == '__main__':
  urls = ['http://www.baidu.com'] * 10
  mods = ['2004-10-01T18:23:17+00:00'] * 10
  generatr_xml_index('index.xml', urls, mods)

The effect

The resulting effect should look like this:

sitemap formats:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
 <url>
  <loc>http://www.example.com/foo.html</loc>
 </url>
</urlset>

sitemapindex formats:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
  <sitemap>
   <loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap1.xml.gz</loc>
   <lastmod>2004-10-01T18:23:17+00:00</lastmod>
  </sitemap>
  <sitemap>
   <loc>http://www.example.com/sitemap2.xml.gz</loc>
   <lastmod>2005-01-01</lastmod>
  </sitemap>
  </sitemapindex>

Problem with lastmod time format

The format is based on the standard ISO 8601. If it is an linux/unix system, you can get it using the following function


def get_lastmod_time(filename):
  time_stamp = os.path.getmtime(filename)
  t = time.localtime(time_stamp)
  # return time.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S+08:00', t)
  return time.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ', t)

To optimize the

1 generally speaking, lxml is inefficient and memory intensive and can be created directly using the write method of the file.


def generate_xml(filename, url_list):
  with gzip.open(filename,"w") as f:
    f.write("""<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">\n""")
    for i in url_list:
      f.write("""<url><loc>%s</loc></url>\n"""%i)
    f.write("""</urlset>""")


def append_xml(filename, url_list):
  with gzip.open(filename, 'r') as f:
    for each_line in f:
      d = re.findall('<loc>(http:\/\/.+)<\/loc>', each_line)
      url_list.extend(d)

    generate_xml(filename, set(url_list))


def modify_time(filename):
  time_stamp = os.path.getmtime(filename)
  t = time.localtime(time_stamp)
  return time.strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S:%SZ', t)


def new_xml(filename, url_list):
  generate_xml(filename, url_list)
  root = dirname(filename)

  with open(join(dirname(root), "sitemap.xml"),"w") as f:
    f.write('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>\n<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">\n')
    for i in glob.glob(join(root,"*.xml.gz")):
      lastmod = modify_time(i)
      i = i[len(CONFIG.SITEMAP_PATH):]
      f.write("<sitemap>\n<loc>http:/%s</loc>\n"%i)
      f.write("<lastmod>%s</lastmod>\n</sitemap>\n"%lastmod)
    f.write('</sitemapindex>')
