Remove Empty tags in XML using plain python without lxml library

[saurabhverma2412]

Below is the whole code that i'm using as of now.

 
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse("xml_test.txt")
root = tree.getroot()

for elem in root.iter('MsgHeader'):
Deal = root.find("./MsgHeader/Deal")
empty = root.find("./MsgHeader/Deal/Attribute/[Value='']")
Deal.remove(empty)
print(ET.tostring(root, encoding='utf8').decode('utf8'))

The use case is that at some places in the sample XML, the <Value> tag is empty. So every-time we encounter a tag like this, we need to remove the corresponding <Attribute> tag from the xml itself.
