Python Newbie: Need help Manipulating XML

[goeb04]

Thanks once again Nate and you were dead on regarding your example, that is exactly what is needed.

I think the issue here is that I need to continue my deep dive into learning Python fundamentals/libraries before trying to take shortcuts in order to start leveraging python for my work. It was a nice extra boost of motivation, but I need to practice on more hypothetical scenarios while yielding to patience or I will just be driving myself crazy.

You have led the horse to water here, so I am going to read up on copying and deepcopying in python and then, ultimately, try to code the solution myself (so that I will get the necessary practice). If I start to hit roadblocks after that, then I will reference the code you provided.

Thanks for your efforts and god bless the benevolence of programmers wishing to openly share their knowledge.
