Parsing Rdf (Rewrite)

[Brandon McGinty]

Hi All,
I'm trying to parse the rdf catalog at:
http://www.gutenberg.org/feeds/catalog.rdf.bz2
I've put it into an _ElementTree as follows:
import time
import xml.etree.cElementTree as et
tree = et.parse('c:/tmp/catalog2.rdf')
root = tree.getroot()
I would think that I could do:
etexts=tree.findall('pgterms:etext')
(or something like that), Which would pull out each etext record in the
file.
I could then do:
for book in etexts:
 print book.get('id')
This isn't yielding anything for me, no matter how I write it.
Any thoughts on this?
What am I doing wrong, or am I even in the realm of possibility, trying to
get thee elements by name?
 
Thanks,
Brandon
