I need to import a xml file from StarUML into Sparx's Enterprise Architect. Both programs support importing and exporting using the xmi interface (xml).When I import the file into EA, all the classes attributes are duplicated (I don't know why), and since there are a lot of classes (over 30K lines file), I'm looking for a method to clean duplicated attributes within a class automatically with Python (so I'm able to learn a bit more of the language, since I'm newbie).What I do is I export the imported file into an xml file and it has more or less this format:\[code\] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?><XMI xmi.version="1.1" xmlns:UML="omg.org/UML1.3" timestamp="2012-04-26 00:08:23"> <XMI.header> <XMI.documentation> <XMI.exporter>Enterprise Architect</XMI.exporter> <XMI.exporterVersion>2.5</XMI.exporterVersion> </XMI.documentation> </XMI.header> <XMI.content> <UML:Model name="EA Model" xmi.id="MX_EAID_7E991363_115D_4f1c_BE75_50FE1A4CA215"> <UML:Namespace.ownedElement> <UML:Class name="EARootClass" xmi.id="EAID_11111111_5487_4080_A7F4_41526CB0AA00" isRoot="true" isLeaf="false" isAbstract="false"/> <UML
