Question

I’m beginning to learn python and here I’m trying to read from an xml file using ElementTree:

import sys
from elementtree.ElementTree import ElementTree

doc = ElementTree(file="test.xml")
doc.write(sys.stdout)  

However I get this error:
File “my_xml.py”, line 2, in
from elementtree.ElementTree import ElementTree
ImportError: No module named elementtree.ElementTree

I do have lib files in /usr/lib/python2.6/xml/etree/…
What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for your help 🙂

Answer 1

It should be:

from xml.etree.ElementTree import ElementTree

More information on this can be found at the Python docs.
