And now, to iterate through its child nodes and print out the text of each
node:

for node in xml_content.getiterator('contest'):
...        name = node.attrib.get('text')
...        print name
...


Nothing is printed,

i = 0
for node in xml_content.getiterator('contest'):
...     i += 1
...
i
0

What am I getting wrong? Any hints would be appreciated.

Looks like you are getting an empty list back.
Try printing list(xml_content.getiterator('contest'))

And if thats empty try checking the case of your tag?
I'm pretty sure it will be case sensitive?

HTH,
