I'm looking for child tag values in xml data, my code below gets me all the values for tags "color" inside "info" in xml data, but I'm looking for a iteration,



if color = yellow, i need to get it's rank only.



****My Code:****



xmldata = '''
<FullGroup>
<color>General</color>
<link>url</link>
<three>test</three>
<four>
<info>
<color>yellow</color>
<rank>100</rank>
<place>first</place>
</info>
<info>
<color>red</color>
<rank>500</rank>
<place>second</place>
</info>
</four>
</FullGroup>'''

xml = ElementTree.fromstring(xmldata)
for color in xml.findall('.//info/color'):
print color.text

output:
yellow
red

Required output:
100


Thanks in Advance ..

          You could use zip() like so:



          for color, rank in zip(xml.findall('.//info/color'), xml.findall('.//info/rank')):
          if color.text == 'yellow':
          print(rank.text)

          Your XPath expression is wrong. To get the rank children of all info elements which have a child named color with the text() value "yellow", change



          xml = ElementTree.fromstring(xmldata)
          for color in xml.findall('.//info/color'):
          print color.text


          to



          xml = ElementTree.fromstring(xmldata)
          for curRank in xml.findall('.//info[color="yellow"]/rank'):
          print curRank.text


          Output is:



          100
