Hi, You're right for my post code : I extract it from a more complicated context. However, the solution you propose produce the line <aixm:elevation uom="M"/> not a blank line. Finally, I've found a good solution by using :
from xml.dom.ext import PrettyPrint from xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax2 import FromXmlStream dom = FromXmlStream("my_file") testRemoving(dom) PrettyPrint(dom) def testRemoving(self,dom) : for node1 in dom.childNodes: if node1.nodeType == node1.ELEMENT_NODE: for node in node1.childNodes: if node.nodeValue == "xxx_toremove_xxx": dom.removeChild(node1) testRemoving(node1) On 28 oct, 13:47, de...@web.de (Diez B.
