The XPath support in ET is very limited. You can use lxml.etree instead, which
has full support for XPath 1.0, i.e. you can do
tree.xpath('//*[local-name() = "node"]')
http://codespeak.net/lxml/
Or you can do the iteration yourself, i.e.
for el in tree.iter(): # or tree.getiterator():
if isinstance(el.tag, basestring):
if el.tag.split('}', 1)[-1] == "node":
print el.tag
which works in both ET and lxml.etree.
