Read XML value from a XML string

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

    tree = ET.ElementTree(ET.fromstring(my_string))          #Load the XML as an element tree object
    root = tree.getroot()                   #Get root element 
  
    #Look for an item in the XML root called <Result>
    for item in root.findall('Result'): 
        print(item.text)
        if item.text == "Success":
            print("Found success result")

Read XML value from an XML file

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

    tree = ET.parse('my_xml_fiil.xml')          #Load the XML as an element tree object
    root = tree.getroot()                   #Get root element 
  
    #Look for an item in the XML root called <Result>
    for item in root.findall('Result'): 
        print(item.text)
        if item.text == "Success":
            print("Found success result")

Parse XML values from an XML file
