I am trying to parse the xml using the cElementTree library in python.But when i am trying to run the program it gives me error. 

#!/usr/bin/python

import os
import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree

filename = "mood_ib_history_parameters_DEV.xml"
__currentlocation__ = os.getcwd()
__fullpath__ = os.path.join(__currentlocation__,filename)

tree = etree.parse(__fullpath__)
root = tree.getroot()

for child in root:
    print child.tag
    print child.attrib

Contents of mood_ib_history_parameters_DEV.xml:

<IB_Details>
   <hive_db>installbase</hive_db>
   <EDGE_HIVE_CONN>${EDGE_HIVE_CONN2}</EDGE_HIVE_CONN>

    What error are you getting? You have a basic syntax error in your `for` loop as in it doesn't end in a `:` (I'm assuming the following prints are incorrectly indented just in your question). – AChampion Jan 15 '16 at 03:30
  • it is just giving me this output python xmlParser.py hive_db {} EDGE_HIVE_CONN {} target_dir {} to_email_alias {} to_email_cc {} from_email_alias {} dburl {} SQOOP_EDGE_CONN {} user_name {} password {} IB_log_table {} SR_DG_master_table {} SR_DG_table {} – wandermonk Jan 15 '16 at 03:34
  • You have no attributes, you have text, use `child.text` – AChampion Jan 15 '16 at 03:44
