Conditional node selection with BS in Python

[Paul Kremershof]

Hey all,

I'm unfortunately stuck with this problem. I have a large corpus XML file in which I wish to iterate through and select the <sn node if it contains elliptic="yes" of kind:

soup.find_all('sn', {"elliptic" : "yes"})

Once found, I want to get the very next <v node.

Exempt from the file:

 <sentence id="4">
    <f lem="-" pos="fg" punct="hyphen" wd="-"/>
    <sn arg="arg1" elliptic="yes" entityref="lex" func="suj" tem="tem"/>
    <grup.verb>
      <v lem="ser" lss="C21.state-attributive" mood="indicative" num="s" person="3" pos="vsip3s0" postype="semiauxiliary" tense="present" wd="És"/>
    </grup.verb>

So far, it was impossible to me to find a way to get his accomplished. Also because <v does not seem to be a child of <sn but rather a child of <grup.verb> (which gives me errors due to the dot).

Have you any idea to get this done? Have many thanks in advance
Best,Paul
