Ok, so I read through these tutorials and am at least able to print
the XML output now. I did this:
doc = etree.parse('computer_books.xml')
and then this:
for elem in doc.iter():
print elem.tag, elem.text
Here's the data I'm interested in:
index 1
field 11
value 9780596526740
datum
How do you say, "If the field is 11, then print the next value"? The
raw XML looks like this:
<datum>
<index>1</index>
<field>11</field>
<value>9780470286975</value>
</datum>
Basically I just want to pull all these ISBN numbers from the file.
