python read xml file--simple example

xml file ( file name "Nevaluation1.xml"):

<measurement>
  <fixed-image filename="P:/edit.mha" nonzeropoints="130" intersection="672"/>
  <moving-image filename="P:/Atlas1.mha" nonzeropoints="160" intersection="672"/>
  <metrics>
    <DICE name="Dice" symbol="DICE"  value="0.984746"/>
    <HDRFDST name="Hausdorff" symbol="HDRFDST"  value="24.556058" executiontime="7334"/>
    <AVGSD name="AverageSurfaceDistance" symbol="AVGSD" value="0.553204" executiontime="234466"/>
    <STDSD name="STDSurfaceDistance" symbol="STDSD"  value="1.074333" executiontime="6"/>
  </metrics>
  <time total-executiontime="248872"/>
  <dimention max_x="512" max_y="512" max_z="155"/>
</measurement>

python code:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

filename = 'C:\Users\zzhai\Desktop\Nevaluation1.xml'
# def
tree = ET.parse( filename )
root = tree.getroot()

result = ''
for child in root:
    if child.tag in ('metrics'):

        metrics = child._children
        # lenth = metric._children.__len__
        x = metrics.__len__()
        for i in range(0, x):
            Mname = metrics[i].attrib
            value = Mname['value']

            result = result + str(value) + ' '
        print result

result:

0.984746 24.556058 0.553204 1.074333 

If you have a range of xml file with the output from your research, then you can make a nice table.
