I'm trying to merge and filter some xml. This is working well, but I'm
getting one node that's not in my list to include.
This may be similar to a recent post with similar issues.
for rec in xmlet:
if rec.find('part').find('pid').text not in il:
xmlet.remove(rec)
You're removing records from the thing you are iterating over.
That's never a good idea, and often causes the next record to
be stepped over without being processed.
Try taking a copy before iterating and then modify the original.
for rec in xmlet[:]: # slice creates a copy
if rec....
xmlet.remove(rec)
