>From my first foray into XML with Python:
I would like to retrieve this list from the XML upon searching for the 'config'
with id attribute = 'B'
config = {id: 1, canvas: (3840, 1024), comment: "a comment",
{id: 4, gate: 3, (0, 0, 1280, 1024)},
{id: 5, gate: 2, (1280, 0, 2560, 1024)},
{id: 6, gate: 1, (2560, 0, 3840, 1024)}}
I have started to use this code - but this is beginning to feel very
non-elegant; not the cool Python code I usually see...
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse('master.xml')
master = tree.getroot()
for config in master:
if config.attrib['id'] == 'B':
...
Thanks for any help!
