Can't filter selections on root node about objectpath

$ needs to be postponed by . or .. and then attribute name or wildcard.

list(tree.execute('$.*[@.x < 2]')) should work. :)

Thanks for the quick response! It does indeed work.

But shouldn't the version I posted also work?

If $.data[@.x < 2] refers to all entries in $.data where x < 2, then shouldn't $[@.x < 2] logically refer to all entries in $ where x < 2?

For me $[@ looks like brainfuck. :)

If you like to change this behavior go here: https://github.com/adriank/ObjectPath/blob/master/objectpath/core/parser.py#L274
and comment lines: 274, 276-278. Namespaces doesn't work ATM so nothing will break.
