How do I remove a node in xml using ElementTree in Python?

Question

I\'ve read the remove example here and the example here is not applicable to me.

My xml file reads:

  some text

        

Answer 1

You guys are not straight to the point. I've combined my knowledge with the answers here and came out with this:

for i, child in enumerate(self.root):
    if path == i:
        self.root.remove(child)
        break

where path is the index of the item I want to remove.

Answer 2

In [1]: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

In [2]: xmlstr=\
   ...: """
   ...: <A>
   ...:   <B>some text</B>
   ...:   <B>other text</B>
   ...:   <B>more text</B>
   ...: </A>
   ...: """

In [3]: tree=ET.fromstring(xmlstr)

In [4]: tree.remove(tree.findall('.//B')[1])
