I have a sample.XML file
the code is like this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<opml version="1.0">
<head>
	<title>My Podcasts</title>
	<dateCreated>Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:53:26

GMT</dateCreated>
	<dateModified>Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:53:26

GMT</dateModified>
</head>
<body>
  <TestCase name="Sprint_001">
    <Input url="http://first.co.jp" />
    <Input url="http://www.google.com" />
    <Input url="http://www.epaper.times.india.com" />
  </TestCase>
  <TestCase name="Sprint_002">
    <Input url="http://second.co.jp" />
    <Input url="http://www.google.com" />
    <Input url="http://www.epaper.times.india.com" />
  </TestCase>
  <TestCase name="Sprint_003">
    <Input url="http://third.co.jp" />
    <Input url="http://www.google.com" />
    <Input url="http://www.epaper.times.india.com" />
  </TestCase>
</body>
</opml>


This my python code
from xml.etree import ElementTree

with open('our.xml', 'rt') as f:
    tree = ElementTree.parse(f)

for node, value in tree.findall('.//TestCase/Input'):

        url=node.attrib.get('url')
        print url



i want to print the url depending on name="sprint_001".
If i change my option to sprint_002 it should print url for sprint_002
