In PyXML, it works mostly the same way. The only different thing is
how to obtain a DOM Document; you use xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax2.FromXml*
for this. Once you have a DOM tree, you proceed just as with jython,
i.e.  using getElementsByTagName, etc.

You probably need to be aware of the Python DOM mapping, see
