You're right, sorry.
Anyway this parser can't cope with attributes in custom elements - 
they're just ignored. Only the contents are retained. For the 
yweather namespace it's useless then, since attributes are used to 
store all the information:

  <yweather:location city="Sunnyvale" region="CA" country="US" />
  <yweather:units temperature="F" distance="mi" pressure="in" speed="mph" />
  <yweather:wind chill="47" direction="350" speed="8" />
  <yweather:atmosphere humidity="38" visibility="1609" 
pressure="30.02" rising="2" />

You may try a different library. A generic XML approach like 
ElementTree http://effbot.org/zone/element-index.htm should be fine.
