Hi Manfred,

I'm still figuring out both Python and XML, but the script you're
looking for is already in the XML-HOWTO:

    http://www.python.org/doc/howto/xml/node9.html

All I've done myself basically uses this sample as a template (adapting
it to build a PencillerFinder class, for example).   I've just purchased
the book "XML Processing With Python," so maybe I'll become more useful
(and helpful) soon.

Good Luck!
