read and parse XMLfile

import xml.etree.cElementTree as et
parsedXML = et.parse('demo.xml')

node.attrib.get(),获取标签内部，k-v对应的键值

node.find()找到对应的子标签，（node.find(‘xxx’)).text:返回对应的内容

for node in parsedXML.getroot():
    name = node.attrib.get('name')
    email = node.find('email')
    phone = node.find('phone')
    street = node.find('address/street')
