The above wraps the body element, not the contents of the body element. I'm
no ElementTree expert, but this seems to work:
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
source = """<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body>
original contents... 2&3 <a href="hello/world">some text</a>
<p>Another paragraph</p>
</body></html>"""
tree = ET.XML(source)
body = tree.find("body")
newdiv = ET.Element('div', {'class':'remapped'})
for e in body.getchildren():
newdiv.append(e)
newdiv.text = body.text
newdiv.tail = body.tail
body.clear()
body.append(newdiv)
ET.dump(tree)
Result:
<html><head><title>Test</title></head><body><div class="remapped">
original contents... 2&3 <a href="hello/world">some text</a>
<p>Another paragraph</p>
</div></body></html>
