This seems to be a feature of BS. It seems a bit of a misfeature when applied
to XML but anyway...you can configure BS with a set of tags which can be
nested, then it will properly parse your data. Here is a short program that
shows how:
xml = '''<parameter scriptname="posx">
<fcurve plotted="False">
<parameter scriptname="extrapolation">1</parameter>
</fcurve>
</parameter>'''
import BeautifulSoup
class NestingParser(BeautifulSoup.BeautifulStoneSoup):
NESTABLE_TAGS = BeautifulSoup.buildTagMap([], 'parameter')
soup = NestingParser(xml)
print soup.prettify()
