Parsing XML with namespace in Python via ‘ElementTree’
I have the following XML which I want to parse using Python’s ElementTree:

I am using the builtin Python ElementTree module. It is straightforward to access children, but what about parent or sibling nodes? – can this be done efficiently without traversing the entire tree?
xml.etree.ElementTree.indent(tree, space=" ", level=0) Appends
whitespace to the subtree to indent the tree visually. This can be
used to generate pretty-printed XML output. tree can be an Element or
ElementTree. space is the whitespace string that will be inserted for
each indentation level, two space characters by default. For indenting
partial subtrees inside of an already indented tree, pass the initial
indentation level as level.
I’ve written a fairly simple filter in python using ElementTree to munge the contexts of some xml files. And it works, more or less.
I’m new to xml parsing and Python so bear with me. I’m using lxml to parse a wiki dump, but I just want for each page, its title and text.
I have tried to use the answer in this question, but can’t make it work: How to create “virtual root” with Python’s ElementTree?
I have an xml doc that I am trying to parse using Etree.lxml
With ElementTree in Python, how can I extract all the text from a node, stripping any tags in that element and keeping only the text?
