ElementTree 解析 XML

Question

I'm trying to parse below xml using Python and ElementTree however I'm running into some errors.

This is the code I'm using right now:

tree = file.xml

for house in tree.findall('.//HOUSE'):
        HOUSE_ID = house.find('ID').text
        ASSET_ID = house.find('ASSET_ID').text
        IP = house.find('IP').text
        FOLLOW_UP= house.find('FOLLOW_UP').text
        NODE_ID= house.find('NODE_ID').text
        ADDRESS = house.find('ADDRESS')
        if ADDRESS is None:
            ADDRESS = ''
        else:
            ADDRESS = ADDRESS.text
        LAST_VISIT_DATETIME = host.find('LAST_VISIT_DATETIME').text
        DOMOTIC = house.find('DOMOTIC')
        if DOMOTIC is None:
            DOMOTIC = ''
        else:
            DOMOTIC = DOMOTIC.text
        ITEM_ID = house.find('ITEM_ID')
        if ITEM_ID is None:
            ITEM_ID = ''
        else:
            ITEM_ID = ITEM_ID.text


        print(HOUSE_ID + "," + ASSET_ID + "," + IP + "," + FOLLOW_UP + "," + NODE_ID + "," + ADDRESS + "," + LAST_VISIT_DATETIME + "," + ADDRESS + "," + LAST_VISIT_DATETIME)

This is the XML:

        <HOUSE_LIST>

                        <LAST_PROCESSED_DATETIME>2020-08-28T09:16:26Z</LAST_PROCESSED_DATETIME>
                    </ITEM>
                    <ITEM>

I'd like to print the list of items in each house, however it only prints one of them.

Answer 1

That happens because ITEM element are repeated inside HOUSE/ITEM_LIST and to print list of items in each house it would be needed to iterate over ITEM elements in the same way as you iterate over HOUSE elements:

for item in house.findall('./ITEM_LIST/ITEM'):
    ITEM_ID = item.find('ITEM_ID')
    if ITEM_ID is None:
        ITEM_ID = ''
    else:
        ITEM_ID = ITEM_ID.text
    print(ITEM_ID)
