title: how can I read a value from an XML-formatted web page
body: <p>What I am trying to do is the following. There is this web page: <a href="http://xml.buienradar.nl" rel="nofollow">http://xml.buienradar.nl</a> .</p>
  
  <p>From that, I want to extract a value every n minutes, preferably with Python. Let's say the windspeed at the Gilze-Rijen station. That is located on this page at:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;buienradarnl&gt;.&lt;weergegevens&gt;.&lt;actueel_weer&gt;.&lt;weerstations&gt;.&lt;weerstation id="6350"&gt;.&lt;windsnelheidMS&gt;4.80&lt;/windsnelheidMS&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now, I can find loads of questions with answers that use Python to read a local XML file. But, I would rather not need to <code>wget</code> or <code>curl</code> this page every couple of minutes. </p>
  
  <p>Obviously, I'm not very familiar with this. </p>
  
  <p>There <em>must</em> be a very easy way to do this. The answer either escapes me or is drowned in all the answers that solve problems with a local file.</p>
