To retrieve the text inside some element, use this method
on some ElementTree instance ET:
ET.findtext ( path, default=None ):
path
The syntax for describing the location of the
desired element is the same as in Section 7.1, “ElementTree.find()”.
default
The value to be returned if there is no element at that path.
If there is a child at the indicated path, the method
returns its text content as a string. If there is a
matching child, but it has no content, the return
value is "" (the empty string). If there
is no such child, the method returns None.
