针对Yahoo的XML格式的天气预报数据，获取当天和最近几天的天气：

开始解析：

#-*-coding:UTF-8-*-
import xml.etree.ElementTree as etree
weatherxml = etree.parse('yahooweather.xml')
tree = weatherxml.getroot()
for root in tree:
      
  #  print root  #channel 直接的一级子元素   
    pindao =  tree.findall('channel') 
    des = pindao[0].find('title')
    
    print des.text
    for elem in tree.iter(tag='pubDate'):    #iter() 深度优先搜素遍历
       print elem.text
    
    for elem in tree.iter(tag='{http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0}condition'):
       print elem.attrib
    
    for elem in tree.iter(tag='{http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0}forecast'):
       print elem.attrib
 

yweather:condition

yweather:forecast    

冒号前表示命名空间 通过xml文件可以知道yweather=http://xml.weather.yahoo.com/ns/rss/1.0

结果如下：
