Yeah, understood.
Okay, knowing that others are smarter about python, and ElementTree,
here's some code I was using to parse XML. Took a while to recover
from. :)

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import os
import argparse
import fnmatch
def show_info(file, element):
action = ""
net_proto = ""
trans_proto = ""
r_port = ""
l_port = ""
direction = ""
name = ""
has_info = False
f_name = ""
id = element.attrib['name']
f_name = os.path.splitext(file)[0]
for setting in element.iter('Setting'):
if setting.attrib['name'] == 'Action':
action = setting.attrib['value']
has_info = True
elif setting.attrib['name'] == '+NetworkProtocol#0':
net_proto = setting.attrib['value']
has_info = True

trans_proto = setting.attrib['value']
has_info = True

if has_info:
outfile.write("%s ; %s ; %s ; %s ; %s ; %s ; %s ; %s ; %s\n" %
(f_name, id, name, action, net_proto, trans_proto, l_port, r_port, direction))
## Main
parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument("-o", "--outfile", default = "new_out.csv",
help="File to write to.")
parser.add_argument("-d", "--dir", default = ".", help="Directory of
the XML files.")
args = parser.parse_args()
indir = args.dir
outfile = open(args.outfile, 'w')
outfile.write("File ;Rule ID ;Name ;Action ; Network Protocol;
Transport Protocol; Local Port; Remote Port; Direction\n")
for file in os.listdir(indir):
if fnmatch.fnmatch(file, '*.xml'):
full_file = indir + "\\" + file
tree = ET.parse(full_file)
root = tree.getroot()
for element in root.iter('PolicySettings'):
show_info(file, element)
outfile.close()
