Don't try to detect it. Instead, assume it always happens, and collect the strings in characters(), rather than processing them. Do something like this def startElement(self, ...): self.chardata = "" def characters(self, data): self.chardata += data def endElement(self, ...): process(self.chardata) This is simplified - you might have to deal with nested elements, somehow.
