parsing RSS XML feed for item value

[Larry Wilson]

Wanting to parse out the the temperature value in the "<w:current" element, just after the guid element using ElementTree or xml.sax. 

Still learning python and getting to know the XML terminology, so need to ask for help, many thank in advance.
