here's one way to do it:
try:
import cElementTree as ET
except ImportError:
from elementtree import ElementTree as ET
for event, elem in ET.iterparse(file):
if elem.tag == "page":
title = elem.findtext("title")
revision = elem.findtext("revision/text")
print title, revision
elem.clear() # won't need this any more
