I am interested only in the field 1000000000
I browsed the stackoverflow for similar questions on xml parsing and then i also searched in google, i did not find any solution.
I read python docs -- [http://docs.python.org/2/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#xml.etree.ElementTree.XML]
and tried to frame some logic using the functions findall(), iterfind() ... Nothing seems to work.
How to extract quota field from the above atom feed (xml).
Please note, i tried ElementTree's parse function, i got an error. I can not use that function. I get the response from restAPI as feed. I am allowed to save it as file and then parse it.
Thanks in advance
