I'm sure there are plenty of other ways, but I would do:
1.
testPath[0:testPath.rindex('/')] or testPath[0:testPath.rindex('/')+1] if
you really want that trailing slash for some reason
2.
import re
xml = '<xmlTest test1="myPic" test2="1234" myVersion="6">'
tag = 'myVersion'
value = re.split('\W+', xml[xml.index(tag)+len(tag):len(xml)])[1]
