Editing Cbecc-Com XML input with Python?

Hi I was wondering if anyone out there has a workflow that involves editing Cbecc-Com's XML input files with Python? It seems do-able, I thought I would ask before I start giving it a go.

My thoughts are:

  1. Create initial Geometry in IES
  2. List item
  3. Export to CBECC-Com
  4. Save CBECC-Com file as XML
  5. Run python scripts to parse/edit XML elements
  6. Import XML to CBECC com
  7. Repeat steps 4-6

Would be interested in hearing any work flows that include python scripts / input files!
