No, the parser works fine. Your attempt to register a default namespace didn't work. Those "http things" *are* the namespace issue! The following version of your code works. *Try it.* It finds the servlet element in the document object, removes it, and writes out XML text without the servlet element. (It seems to invent another namespace prefix. That doesn't change the meaning of the document.) import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET ns = { 'x' : "http://xmlns.jcp.org/xml/ns/javaee" } tree = ET.parse('sample.xml') root = tree.getroot() for servlet in root.findall('x:servlet', ns): servletname = servlet.find('x:servlet-name', ns).text if servletname == "controller": root.remove(servlet) tree.write('output.xml') -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
