As I'm trying to write the code using cElementTree.
I stumble across one problem. Sometimes there are multiple values to
retrieve from one record for the same element. Like this:
<Prot-ref_name_E>ATP-binding cassette, subfamily G, member 1</Prot-ref_name_E>
<Prot-ref_name_E>ATP-binding cassette 8</Prot-ref_name_E>

How do you get not only the first, but the rest as well, so that I can
store it in a list.

findall returns a list of matching elements. if "elem" is the paretnt element, this gives you a list of the text inside all Prot-ref_name_E child elements:

   [e.text for e in elem.findall("Prot-ref_name_E")]

(you have read the elementtree documentation, I hope?)
