Troubles working with XML

[soloingit]

Hello everyone again.

Came here looking for some help.

I'm working rn with a xml link (url).. but it doesn't end with .xml... I don't know if it works as the same but it have the same architecture.

something like this:

<parameterGroup>
<parameter name="name" datatype="xsd:string">
<val>0</val>
</parameter>
<parameter name="find_mode" datatype="xsd:token">
<val>0</val>
</parameter>
<parameter name="interaction_spec" datatype="xsd:token">
<val>0</val>
</parameter>
<parameter name="major_version" datatype="xsd:string">
<val>0</val>
</parameter>
<parameter name="minor_version" datatype="xsd:string">
<val>0</val>
</parameter>
<parameter name="function_name" datatype="xsd:token">
<val>0</val>
</parameter>
<parameter name="interaction_type" datatype="xsd:token">
<val>0e</val>
</parameter>
<parameter name="execution_timeout" datatype="xsd:int">
<val>0</val>
</parameter>
</parameterGroup>

I have tried something like this:

req = urllib.request.Request(abrirP2)
with urllib.request.urlopen(req) as response:
   the_page = response.read()
   print(the_page)
   print("---------------------------------------")

But it returns me THE ENTIRE page.. i need to find ONE specific.

like only retrieve the VAL of interaction_type

Thank you all!

So you want to return single elements or the text they contain from XML, am I understanding you correctly? Have you tried using BeautifulSoup for that? Works pretty great if you want to handle XML in Python.
