title: Python ElementTree find first element
body: <p>I need to get the first and only child element of a node and the child is guaranteed to be there. I could write something like this</p>
  
  <pre><code>def get_first(Node):
    for x in Node:
      return x
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I was hoping for something more elegant. Does anyone know of something?</p>
