This is not valid Python. Are you trying to have a list of dicts?

ElementTree supports XPATH, using this and some list comprehension you do
things a little more easily. For example:
cfg = root.find('config[@id="B"]')
for panel in cfg.findall('panel'):
panels.append([{elem.tag: elem.text} for elem in panel])
You'll need to do some parsing for the coordinates and handle canvas and
comments separately.
HTH,
