Hi Juan,

I think you're looking for:

    http://effbot.org/zone/element.htm#searching-for-subelements

where you should be able to do something like:

    sml._xml.findtext('steamID64')

to get the text "76561198084537782".


Let's check:

###################################################################
>>> import xml.etree.ElementTree
>>> import urllib
>>> f = urllib.urlopen("http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198084537782?xml=1")
>>> tree = xml.etree.ElementTree.ElementTree(file=f)
>>> tree.findtext('steamID64')
'76561198084537782'
###################################################################


Yup, this looks relatively straightforward.  Let us know if you hit any snags.
