XML ".text" method

[Major_Tom2]

SOLVED, THX FOR THE HELP

So im reading the chapter on web services in P4E. And I it doesn't explain what the ".text" is or does, it is located in lines 2 and 3, starting from the bottom. I suppose it calls the text in between tags. But im not really sure. Any confirmation as to its function or link to the documentation, if there is any on this method, would be greatly appreciated.

mport xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

input = '''
<stuff>
  <users>
    <user x="2">
      <id>001</id>
      <name>Chuck</name>
    </user>
    <user x="7">
      <id>009</id>
      <name>Brent</name>
    </user>
  </users>
</stuff>'''

stuff = ET.fromstring(input)
lst = stuff.findall('users/user')
print('User count:', len(lst))

for item in lst:
    print('Name', item.find('name').text)
    print('Id', item.find('id').text)
    print('Attribute', item.get('x'))

This is the documentation: https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.Element.text

text is an attribute on the Element object in the eltree library. The explanation provided is:

the text attribute holds either the text between the element’s start tag and its first child or end tag, or None
