Hello
Is this what you're trying to do?
(tmp-179b92275909243d)kev@pluto ~/virtual-envs/tmp-179b92275909243d python
Python 3.4.1 (default, May 23 2014, 17:48:28) [GCC] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from lxml import objectify
>>> root = objectify.fromstring('<root><Track VenueName="Flemington"
VenueDesc="Flemington" VenueAbbr="FLEM" VenueCode="151" TrackName="Main"
TrackCode="149"/></root>')
>>> root.Track
''
>>> root
<Element root at 0x7f65c6965d08>
>>> for child in root.getchildren():
... print(child.attrib)
...
{'VenueCode': '151', 'TrackCode': '149', 'VenueName': 'Flemington',
'VenueDesc': 'Flemington', 'TrackName': 'Main', 'VenueAbbr': 'FLEM'}
>>> for child in root.getchildren():
... print(child.get('VenueName'))
...
Flemington
>>>
Cheers,
Kev
