here's an ElementTree-based example:
# http://effbot.org/tag/elementtree
import elementtree.ElementTree as ET
FILE = "example.xml"
path = ()
path_map = {}
for event, elem in ET.iterparse(FILE, events=("start", "end")):
if event == "start":
path = path + (elem.tag,)
else:
path_map.setdefault(path, []).append(elem)
path = path[:-1]
elem.clear() # won't need the contents any more
for path in path_map:
print "/".join(path), len(path_map[path])
given this document:
<document>
<chapter>
<title>chapter 1</title>
</chapter>
<chapter>
<title>chapter 2</title>
</chapter>
</document>
the above script prints
document 1
document/chapter 2
document/chapter/title 2
the script uses universal names for tags that live in a namespace. for
information on how to decipher such names, see:
http://www.effbot.org/zone/element.htm#xml-namespaces
hope this helps!
