Welcome! Have you found the page of beginners' tutorials? http://wiki.python.org/moin/BeginnersGuide/NonProgrammers If you are just starting with Python and XML I recommend ElementTree rather than minidom. It is an add-on module that will be part of the standard library in Python 2.5. http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm This page talks about searching an ElementTree for subelements: http://effbot.org/zone/element.htm#searching-for-subelements Ask questions here as needed, we're very friendly! Try to be specific - if you have a question about how to process XML, show a snippet of XML and any code you have tried. If you get an error you don't understand, copy and paste the entire error message into your email.
