XML parsing in Python [closed]

Answer 1

For most of my tasks I have used the Minidom Lightweight DOM implementation, from the official page:

from xml.dom.minidom import parse, parseString

dom1 = parse('c:\\temp\\mydata.xml') # parse an XML file by name

datasource = open('c:\\temp\\mydata.xml')
dom2 = parse(datasource)   # parse an open file

dom3 = parseString('Some data some more data')
