Parsing XML and read the text of the tag using ElementTree using Python

	import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
	import itertools
	import os
	tree = ET.parse('C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\API testing\\Gordon_Seed_03212018.xml')
	count = 0
	for elem in tree.findall(".//additonalTradeItemID"):
	if (elem.get("type") == "DISTRIBUTOR"):
	count+= 1
	print(count)
	# Finding root element of the xml
	root = tree.getroot()
	prodstatusArray = []
	for productStatus in root.iter('productStatus'):
	prodstatusArray.append(productStatus.text )
	itemidArray = []
	for additonalTradeItemID in root.iter('additonalTradeItemID'):
	if(additonalTradeItemID.attrib['type'] == 'DISTRIBUTOR'):
	itemidArray.append((additonalTradeItemID.text ))
	# for item in itertools.chain(prodstatusArray,itemidArray ):
	# print(item)
	new_list = []
	for each in range(0,len(itemidArray)):
	new_list.append(str(itemidArray[each]) + '----->'+ prodstatusArray[each])
	outputfile = open('C:\\Users\\Administrator\\Desktop\\API testing\\xmloutfile.txt', 'w')
	for i in range(len(new_list)):
	outputfile.write(new_list[i])
	outputfile.write('\n')
