The code below is obviously wrong - it is surprising that you get anything other than an exception. See comments below inserted into your code. > def parseXML(): > ... > result = etree.tostring(tree.getroot(), pretty_print=True) "result" here is obviously a string. > for sample in result: This means that "sample" successively hold the characters composing the string "result". > noms = (dict(zip(atts, map(sample.attrib.get, atts)))) You should get "AttributeError: str object does not have attribute `attrib`". -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
