I am trying to extract all the *template-name*s, but no success yet Here is a sample xml file
<collection xmlns:y="http://tail-f.com/ns/rest"> <template-metadata xmlns="http://networks.com/nms"> <template-name>ALLFLEX-BLOOMINGTON</template-name> <type>post-staging</type> <device-type>full-mesh</device-type> <provider-tenant>ALLFLEX</provider-tenant> <subscription xmlns="http://networks.com/nms"> <solution-tier>advanced-plus</solution-tier> <bandwidth>1000</bandwidth> <is-analytics-enabled>true</is-analytics-enabled> <is-primary>true</is-primary> </subscription> .... </collection> with open('/tmp/template-metadata') as f: import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET root = ET.fromstring(f.read()) print len(root) print root[0][0].text for l in root.findall('template-metadata'): print l 392 ALLFLEX-BLOOMINGTON It prints the length of the tree and the first element of the first child, but when I try to loop through to find all the 'template-name's it does not print anything. What am I doing wrong? -- Asif Iqbal PGP Key: 0xE62693C5 KeyServer: pgp.mit.edu A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
