android - How to copy element from one xml to another xml with python -

i have 2 xmls (they happen android text resources), first 1 is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources>   <string name="txt_t1">aaaa</string> </resources> 

and second is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <resources>   <string name="txt_t2">bbbb</string> </resources> 

i know attribute of element want copy, in example it's txt_t1. using python, how copy other xml , paste right behind txt_t2?

lxml king of xml parsing. i'm not sure if looking for, try this

from lxml import etree et  # select parser , make remove whitespace # discard xml file formatting parser = et.xmlparser(remove_blank_text=true)  # element tree of both of files src_tree = et.parse('src.xml', parser) dest_tree = et.parse('dest.xml', parser)  # root element "resources" # want add new element dest_root = dest_tree.getroot()  # anywhere in source document find "string" tag # has "name" attribute value of "txt_t1" src_tag = src_tree.find('//string[@name="txt_t1"]')  # append tag dest_root.append(src_tag)  # overwrite xml file et.elementtree(dest_root).write('dest.xml', pretty_print=true, encoding='utf-8', xml_declaration=true) 

this assumes, first file called src.xml , second dest.xml. assumes element under need copy new element parent element. if not, can use find method find parent need or if don't know parent, search tag 'txt_t2' , use tag.getparent() parent.
