I'm not sure if this is the proper place to post this, but here we go (please move if needed).  I am trying to figure out how to build and retrieve lists from the xml file for plugins.  My friend and I looked through the ElementTree.py file and tried several of the commands we found there, but none seemed to work..we kept getting errors such as this: "Error loading plugin: XmlConfigParser instance has no attribute 'findall'".

What are we doing wrong?  Is it possible to get lists from an xml file for b3 plugins, and if so how do we do it?  Here is an example xml file that we are testing:

Code:

<configuration plugin="test">
    <settings name="tags">
<set name="tag">pRo]</set>
<set name="tag">pRo}</set>
<set name="tag">pRo)</set>
        </settings>
</configuration>

We want all of the variables ("pRo]", "pRo}", etc) in the "tags" section to be made into a list/sequence so we can iterate through them using a for or while loop.  Any ideas?  Thanks for the help.

I am not sure, but I don't think you will be able to have 3 name="tag" statements without them interfering with one another.

Why not try a taglist, with the tags separated by a space and then parse the retrieved xml list to separate them out to put into a Python list?

Could you give an example of that?  I am having trouble visualizing it lol.  Thanks for the reply.

*EDIT*
My friend showed me how to do it and we got it working.  Thanks for the idea!
