didn't you ask the same question a few days ago? did you read the
replies to that post?
assuming that your sample is correct, you need to process the almost-
but-not-quite-XML file before passing it to an XML processor. here's an
ElementTree-based example that does that:
# see http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm
from elementtree import ElementTree as ET
data = open(...).read() # or os.popen(...).read()
# strip off bogus XML declaration
import re
m = re.match("<\?xml[^>]+>", data)
if m:
data = data[m.end():]
# wrap notes in container element
data = "<doc>" + data + "</doc>"
tree = ET.XML(data)
processors = []
for elem in tree.findall(".//node"):
if elem.get("class") == "processor":
processors.append(elem.findtext("product"))
print len(processors)
print processors
given your example, this prints:
2
['AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 250', 'AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 250']
