First off, please clarify: Are there five corresponding </Node> tags
later on? If not, it's not XML, and nesting will have to be defined
some other way.

Secondly, please get off Google Groups. Your initial post is
malformed, and unless you specifically fight the software, your
replies will be even more malformed, to the point of being quite
annoying. There are many other ways to read a newsgroup, or you can
subscribe to the mailing list python-list@python.org, which carries
the same content.
