Hi all,
I looked for clone element function but not found such tool:
def CloneElment(fromElem, destRoot = None)
fromElem is the element to clone
destRoot is the container of the new element ;if None so the new element will be contained by the fromElem container
here is a first implementation:

def CloneElement(fromElem, destRoot = None):

  fromRoot = ET.ElementTree(fromElem).getroot()

  if destRoot == None:

    destRoot = fromRoot

  destElem = destRoot.makeelement(fromElem.tag, fromElem.attrib)

  destRoot.append(destElem)

  destElem.text = fromElem.text

  for e in fromElem.findall('*'):

    CloneElement(e, destElem)
