title: Parsing xml in python to get all child elements
body: <p>I have parsed an XML file to get all its elements. I am getting the following output</p>
  
  <pre><code>[&lt;Element '{urn:mitel:params:xml:ns:yang:vld}vld-list' at 0x0000000003059188&gt;, &lt;Element '{urn:mitel:params:xml:ns:yang:vld}vl-id' at 0x00000000030689F8&gt;, &lt;Element '{urn:mitel:params:xml:ns:yang:vld}descriptor-version' at 0x0000000003068A48&gt;]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need to select the value between } and ' only for each element of the list.</p>
  
  <p>This is my Code till now :</p>
  
  <pre><code>import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET  
  tree = ET.parse('UMR_VLD01_OAM_V6-Provider_eth0.xml')  
  root = tree.getroot()
  
  # all items
  print('\nAll item data:')
  for elem in root:  
      all_descendants = list(elem.iter())
      print(all_descendants)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How  can i achieve this ?</p>
