parsing an xml file for unknown elements using python ElementTree -

i wish extract tag names , corresponding info multi-purpose xml file. save info python dictionary (e.g tag = key, info = value). grab beingness tags names , values unknown , of unknown quantity.

<some_root_name> <tag_x>bubbles</tag_x> <tag_y>car</tag_y> <tag...>42</tag...> </some_root_name>

i'm using elementtree , can extract root tag , can extract values referencing tag names, haven't been able find way iterate on tags , info without referencing tag name.

any help great.

thank you.

from lxml import etree et xmlstring = """ <some_root_name> <tag_x>bubbles</tag_x> <tag_y>car</tag_y> <tag...>42</tag...> </some_root_name> """ document = et.fromstring(xmlstring) elementtag in document.getiterator(): print "elementtag name:", elementtag.tag

edit: read file instead of string

document = et.parse("myxmlfile.xml")

python xml-parsing elementtree

How do I check if an insert was successful with MySQLdb in Python? - i have code: cursor = conn.cursor() cursor.execute(("insert new_files (videos_id, filename, " "is_processing) values (%s,%s,1)"), (id, filename)) logging.warn("%d", cursor.rowcount) if (cursor.rowcount == 1): logging.info("inserted values %d, %s", id, filename) else: logging.warn("failed insert values %d, %s", id, filename) cursor.close() fun is, cursor.rowcount always one, though updated database create videos_id unique key. is, insert fails because in tests same videos_id going appear (and when check database, nil inserted). whatever reason, rowcount 1 - logging.warn have spits out rowcount of 1. so, question: can utilize rowcount work out if insert went fine? if so, (presumably) doing wrong? otherwise, how check if insert went fine? your code not commit after modifications (your modifications rolled back). should...
