title: Search XML Tags for Name Attribute: Python elementTree module
body: <p>I'm trying to parse an XML doc in Python using the <code>ElementTree</code> module. I'm trying to look for <code>Elements</code> that have an xml tag of <code>entry</code> and a <code>name</code> attribute within that tag that equals a certain <code>ipAddress</code>. Below is my code so far:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tree = ET.parse(fi2)
  root = tree.getroot()
  for child in root.iter('entry'): #looks through child elements for tag=entry
      #look for elements that have an attribute(name)='string'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>For reference, when I use the code <code>print child.tag, child.attrib</code> within the <code>for</code> loop, I get the following output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>entry {'name': 'ipAddress'}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I need assistance searching for <code>entry</code> tags with a <code>name attribute</code> of <code>ipAddress</code></p>
