Cannot parse <->..</-> tags

[platten]

I have a few files with data between <-></-> tags which upsets minidom. sample output from mediainfo is below:

/mnt/smbshare/Hilemusic/Jazz/Miles Davis/Sketches Of Spain/01 Concierto de Aranjuez (Adagio).m4a MPEG-4 Base Media / Version 2 mp42 27.9 MiB 16mn 23s 238 Kbps Sketches of Spain Miles Davis Concierto de Aranjuez (Adagio) 1 8 Miles Davis Jazz 1997 UTC 2009-12-13 09:41:30 UTC 2011-05-02 16:51:20 103 Yes <-> 0000014B 00000107 0000564D 0000B641 00049D0B 0007B384 00007FAC 000072E0 0007A21A 0007B4F8 780e3b08 1 AAC Advanced Audio Codec LC 40 16mn 23s Variable 234 Kbps 301 Kbps 2 channels Front: L R 44.1 KHz Lossy 27.5 MiB (98%) 1.3.3.0 1.3.3.0 -q 0.60 UTC 2009-12-13 09:41:30 UTC 2011-05-02 16:51:20

here is a quick and dirty fix:
4a5

import re
75c76

< dom = minidom.parseString(xml_data)

        dom = minidom.parseString(re.sub('<->[\\s\\d\\w]+</->', '', xml_data))

Cheers,
Paul
