[XML-SIG] parsing XML with minidom

[kimmyaf]

I don't really know... Here's the whole story.

I am retrieving the xml by calling this link.

http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=50+Oakland+St,Wellesley,MA,02481&sensor=true



Here's the entire function:

addr = '50+Oakland+St,Wellesley,MA,02481'

def geocode_addr(addr):
    hostname =  'http://maps.google.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?'
    prefix = 'address='
    sensor = '&sensor=true'
    url = hostname + prefix + addr + sensor
    
    print url
    
    handler = urllib2.urlopen(url)
            
    xml_response = handler.read()    
    print xml_response
    #dom = minidom.parseString(xml_response)    
    handler.close()
    
    tree = ET.parse("GeocodeResponse.xml")
    print 'here'
    for tag in tree.getiterator("location"):
        print 'here1'
        print tag.findtext("lat")
        tag.findtext("lng")


*** I actually just pasted the xml from the shell where i printed
xml_response and saved it into an xml file in my folder called
GeocodeResponse.xml to test this... before going through the work of saving
the xml into a file. I got the "here" but not the "here1"

I'm attaching my actual file..

Sorry! I appreciate the help! this is the last piece of functionality i need
to get working for my programming assignment!
