Newbie XML problem

[KP]

>From my first foray into XML with Python:

I would like to retrieve this list from the XML upon searching for the 'config' with id attribute = 'B'


config = {id: 1, canvas: (3840, 1024), comment: "a comment",
             {id: 4, gate: 3, (0,    0, 1280, 1024)},   
             {id: 5, gate: 2, (1280, 0, 2560, 1024)},
             {id: 6, gate: 1, (2560, 0, 3840, 1024)}}

I have started to use this code - but this is beginning to feel very non-elegant; not the cool Python code I usually see...

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree   = ET.parse('master.xml')
master = tree.getroot()

for config in master:
    if config.attrib['id'] == 'B':
    ...  

Thanks for any help!
