I think what you are looking for is ElementTree's iterparse() function. http://docs.python.org/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#functions http://effbot.org/zone/element-iterparse.htm Note that this will build a tree (very fast, BTW) and will let you interact with each element it touches. Once you're done, just serialise the resulting tree. Stefan _______________________________________________ XML-SIG maillist - XML-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig
