Find and Replace Values in XML using Python

The basics: from xml.etree import ElementTree as et tree = et.parse(datafile) tree.find(‘idinfo/timeperd/timeinfo/rngdates/begdate’).text=”1/1/2011″ tree.find(‘idinfo/timeperd/timeinfo/rngdates/enddate’).text=”1/1/2011″ tree.write(datafile) You can shorten the path if the tag name is unique. This syntax finds the first node at any depth level in the tree. tree.find(‘.//begdate’).text=”1/1/2011″ tree.find(‘.//enddate’).text=”1/1/2011″ Also, read the documentation, esp. the XPath support for locating nodes.
