I would like to know how can I split my data from the following format:
<datas>
<data>
<name>Name1</name>
</data>
<data>
<name>Name2</name>
</data>
</datas>
to the following format:
<data><name>Name1</name></data>
<data><name>Name2</name></data>
The parsed data would be sent to a Python script as follows:
python script.py <data><name>Name1<name></data>
python script.py <data><name>Name2<name></data>
I have tried commands like:
echo 'cat /datas/data' | xmllint --shell file.xml
but how can I pass the output in the desired format to the Python script?

I would preprocess the data with XMLStarlet:
Then it depends on how you Python script wants to read this data. Hopefully, it's from a file or from standard input...
