Work with xmlparse and dict_list

Dear ZMS-Users,

does anyone of you know of a faster and more convient way to retrieve data from a large XML file:

		xml_data 		= ob['data']
		xml 			= ZMS.xmlParse(xml_data)
		filtered_xml 	= ZMS.xmlNodeSet(xml,'immobilie',True)
		
		for i in filtered_xml:

				weitere_adresse = ZMS.dict_list(i['tags'])['weitere_adresse']['tags']

				try:
					weitere_adresse_ort = ZMS.dict_list(weitere_adresse)['ort']['cdata']
				except:
					weitere_adresse_ort = False	

?

Especially the part checking for the existance of the node is quite "ugly".
The data is real estate objects with about 250 properties but not every object has the same properties.
A simple "if xyz in.." works, too, but isn't really shorter.

Sincerely, Sebastian
