OK, I think I understand what you're talking about. It's ElementTree API. I have a special generator to process content of elements: def contents(e): """Yield sequence of subelements and text between subelements in the order as they come""" if e.text: yield e.text for sub_e in e.getchildren(): yield sub_e if sub_e.tail: yield sub_e.tail Example: >>> doc = ET.fromstring("""<sometag>weather<space/>in Amsterdam<space/>is >>> great</sometag>""") >>> list(contents(doc)) ['weather', <Element space at c8de68>, 'in Amsterdam', <Element space at ca2120>, 'is great'] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
