I wan to get the value of these tags: <httpurl>HTTP://cmd.wma.ibm.com:80/</httpurl> <httpmethod>GET</httpmethod> <httpresponse>200</httpresponse> You asked for what the upper layer tags are. The upper layer tags I am referring for below tags are any tag that is above it. <httpurl>HTTP://cmd.wma.ibm.com:80/</httpurl> <httpmethod>GET</httpmethod> <httpresponse>200</httpresponse> IE, for the upper upper are: <action>httpRequest</action> and <event> tags. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
