>@Laura - thank you. I observed this earlier. Please see my reply to Ben and MRAB for the most up to date status. 

For the more general problem of 'how do I parse my XML'
download and use this package.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/xmlutils/1.1

It is all set up for reading xml and for writing csv, leaving you
with the manipulation in between (if any) you need.
