Parsing a URL XML with the ElementTree XML API
15,824
You can use urllib2 to download and parse the file in the same way. For e.g. the first few lines will be changed to:
import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET
import urllib2
for i in range(3):
tree = ET.ElementTree(file=urllib2.urlopen('http://www.trion%i.com:6060/stat.xml' % i ))
root = tree.getroot()
root.tag, root.attrib
# Rest of your code goes here....

Below is my sample code where in the background I am downloading statsxml.jsp with wget and then parsing the xml. My question is now I need to parse multiple XML URL and as you can see in the below code I am using one single file. How to accomplish this?
Example URL - http://www.trion1.com:6060/stat.xml, http://www.trion2.com:6060/stat.xml, http://www.trion3.com:6060/stat.xml
import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET tree = ET.ElementTree(file='statsxml.jsp') root = tree.getroot() root.tag, root.attrib print "root subelements: ", root.getchildren() root.getchildren()[0][1] root.getchildren()[0][4].getchildren() for component in tree.iterfind('Component name'): print component.attrib['name']
