Hi grouchy, I seem to have found the problem. Somehow, it seems BeautifulSoup doesn't like nested tags of the same name. For instance, I had this tree:
<parameters> <parameter...> <fcurve> <parameters> <parameter...> </parameter> </parameters> </fcurve> </parameter> </parameters> Printing the entire tree in the command line shell showed some weird rearrangements of the tree in these areas, where tags would show up in different order, and there were a few black lines (there are none in my xml file beyond the first tree tag). Chaing the second second of <parameters><parameter> combination to <fcurveparameters><fcurveparameter> seem to have solved the issue. This sounds to me like a limitation..... oh well. Thanks!
