Thanks mucho.

The script fails on this particular line:

"""

File "remove.dups.py", line 54, in

print(f"type(entries.children = {','.join(str(type(c)) for c in entries.getchildren())}")

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'getchildren'

"""

print(f"type(entries.children = {','.join(str(type(c)) for c in entries.getchildren())}")

Then add the condition not None in the comprehension.

Though, to be honest I suspect writing to a Sqlite database and exporting unique values back to XML is probably going to be easier.
