reading content between a specific xml tag

[saisankalpj]

I have a spml file as below:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <spml:batchresponse designation="software developers">   <response>       <position alias="role">Python developer</position>     </response>   <response>   <position alias="role">java developer</position>     </response>   </spml:batchresponse>

So ,My requirement is I should be able to check initially if designation=software developer.If it is software developer only i should extract the data between the <response></response> tag .I also want to access the data within <position alias="role"></position> tag

My code is right now:

1 2 3 4 5

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET tree = ET.parse('abc.spml') root = tree.getroot() for i in tree.findall('response'):     print (ET.tostring(i))

But i am unable to access the data within the position alias="role" and i am unable to check if designation="software developers"

The above spml is just a sample spml file what i have.Any errors in the sample spml ,please overlook them
