lxml allegedly supports the ElementTree interface so I would expect elem.text to refer to the contents. Sure enough: http://codespeak.net/lxml/tutorial.html#elements-contain-text Why do you want/need to use the iterparse technique on the 2nd pass instead of creating another tree and then using getiterator? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
