    <p>I'm sure many of you have seen the inundation of minidom questions I've had as of late. This weekend, I finally gave up and moved to etree, and have one simple question: How should I be looping this to give the output in the following format:</p> <p>Name Class_Name members color #field y #field z</p> <p>XML example (there are many different types of Class_Name):</p> <pre><code>&lt;network_objects&gt; &lt;network_object&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Test_Group_A&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Class_Name&gt;network_object_group&lt;/Class_Name&gt; &lt;members&gt; &lt;reference&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Host1&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Table&gt;network_objects&lt;/Table&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;reference&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Host2&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Table&gt;network_objects&lt;/Table&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;reference&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Host3&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Table&gt;network_objects&lt;/Table&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;reference&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Host4&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Table&gt;network_objects&lt;/Table&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;reference&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Host5&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Table&gt;network_objects&lt;/Table&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;reference&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Host6&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Table&gt;network_objects&lt;/Table&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;reference&gt; &lt;Name&gt;Host7&lt;/Name&gt; &lt;Table&gt;network_objects&lt;/Table&gt; &lt;/reference&gt; &lt;/members&gt; &lt;color&gt;&lt;![CDATA[deep pink]]&gt;&lt;/color&gt; &lt;comments&gt;&lt;![CDATA[no comment]]&gt;&lt;/comments&gt; &lt;group_convention_query&gt;&lt;![CDATA[]]&gt;&lt;/group_convention_query&gt; &lt;group_sort_type&gt;3&lt;/group_sort_type&gt; &lt;is_convention_on&gt;false&lt;/is_convention_on&gt; &lt;member_class&gt;&lt;![CDATA[network_object]]&gt;&lt;/member_class&gt; &lt;members_query&gt;&lt;![CDATA[]]&gt;&lt;/members_query&gt; &lt;type&gt;&lt;![CDATA[group]]&gt;&lt;/type&gt; &lt;/network_object&gt; &lt;/network_objects&gt; </code></pre> <p>The following code gives me one iteration of each name (what I want):</p> <pre><code>for Name in tree.iterfind('network_object/Name'): print (Name.text) </code></pre> <p>However, if I do a for loop within the for loop, I get an output of all names, with all variations of Class_Name (versus what it is in reality). For instance:</p> <pre><code>for Name in tree.iterfind('network_object/Name'): for Class_name in tree.iterfind('network_object/Class_Name'): print (Name.text,Class_name.text) DB_Servers host_plain DB_Servers network_object_group DB_Servers dynamic_object </code></pre> <p>etc etc, I'm sure you get the idea. </p> <p>How would I go about collecting all of the data I need, and then placing each object with it's relevant details, on it's own line?</p> <p>Thank you!</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
