I’m new to Python and need some help. The web hasn’t been very helpful. Simply put, I have a web response that looks like this:

<html>
  <field>123</field>
  <field>456</field>
</html>

What I’m trying to do is take all of the contents from the field elements into an array that I can index. The end result would look like this:

myArray[0] = 123
myArray[1] = 456

and so on…

What I’m going to end up doing with this is running a random number generator to randomly pick one of the elements in this array and retrieve its value.

Is this possible? I can’t seem to find a straight answer on the web, so I feel like I might be asking for the wrong thing.

    I would use XPath Xpath python to parse the values and just insert them into a list, first declare and empty list my_list=[] and then just append the values my_list.append(parsed_value).
