Someone already mentioned http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/6225 I do want to update that Amara API. As of recent releases it's as simple as import amara doc = amara.parse("foo.opml") for url in doc.xpath("//@xmlUrl"): print url.value Besides the XPath option, Amara [1] provides Python API options for unknown elements, such as node.xml_child_elements node.xml_attributes This is all covered with plenty of examples in the manual [2] [1] http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4suite/amara/ [2] http://uche.ogbuji.net/uche.ogbuji.net/tech/4suite/amara/manual-dev -- Uche Ogbuji Fourthought, Inc. http://uche.ogbuji.net http://fourthought.com http://copia.ogbuji.net http://4Suite.org Articles: http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/publications/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
