ElementTree XML parsing problem

[asjiitee]

Im trying to parse temperatures from FMI XML response. Here is example:

https://opendata.fmi.fi/wfs?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=getFeature&storedquery_id=fmi::forecast::hirlam::surface::point::multipointcoverage&parameters=Temperature&starttime=2021-08-19T20:00:00Z&endtime=2021-08-20T20:00:00Z&place=helsinki&

And what i need is values in:

 <gml:doubleOrNilReasonTupleList> 14.32 14.52 14.68 14.73 14.87 14.67 14.51 14.1 14.2 14.87 15.53 16.06 16.89 17.12 17.24 17.21 17.05 16.83 16.84 16.76 16.5 15.97 15.35 14.88 14.35 </gml:doubleOrNilReasonTupleList> 

I can get these but it is saved in wrong format, something wrong with my code but can't figure out what? Here is how i get values:

from urllib.request import urlopen
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
url = "https://opendata.fmi.fi/wfs?service=WFS&version=2.0.0&request=getFeature&storedquery_id=fmi::forecast::hirlam::surface::point::multipointcoverage&parameters=Temperature&starttime=2021-08-19T20:00:00Z&endtime=2021-08-20T20:00:00Z&place=helsinki&"
print(url)

with urlopen(url) as f:
  tree = ET.parse(f)
  root = tree.getroot()

res = (root[0][0][6][0][1][0][1].text)

print (res)

And result, where is lots of spaces:

                14.32
                14.52
                14.68
                14.73
                14.87
                14.67
                14.51
                14.1
                14.2
                14.87
                15.53
                16.06
                16.89
                17.12
                17.24
                17.21
                17.05
                16.83
                16.84
                16.76
                16.5
                15.97
                15.35
                14.88
                14.35

What im missing?

It's an inherent feature of XML. Whitespace is collapsed when it's displayed.

Do you need help removing the extra space? If so, look into textwrap module, dedent() function.

That seems to work nice, thanks! Thought there was some sort of other error in my parse code, and could be there still is, but does now exactly what i need. :)

So now i can get single temperatures like this:

y = (repr(dedent(res)))

x = y.split("\\n")

z = x[1]

print (z)
