If you post code, make an attempt for it to be runnable. I had to fix numerous simple errors to make it run & actually solve your problem. from xml.dom.minidom import parse,parseString from xml.dom import Node toxml=""" <aixm:VORTimeSlice xmlns:aixm="aixm" xmlns:gml="gml" gml:id="ABB"> <aixm:type>ABB</aixm:type> <aixm:designator>ABB</aixm:designator> <aixm:ElevatedPoint gml:id="ABB" srsDimension="2"> <gml:pos srsDimension="2">-51.23 4.6501</gml:pos> <aixm:elevation uom="M">xxx_toremove_xxx</aixm:elevation> </aixm:ElevatedPoint> </aixm:VORTimeSlice>""" dom = parseString(toxml) def ApplicationWhitespaceRemoving(ele) : for c in ele.childNodes: if c.nodeType == c.TEXT_NODE: if c.nodeValue == "xxx_toremove_xxx": parent = c.parentNode parent.removeChild(c) elif c.nodeType == ele.ELEMENT_NODE: ApplicationWhitespaceRemoving(c) ApplicationWhitespaceRemoving(dom) print dom.toxml() -- Diez -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
