extracting data from several xml-files with python
<p>I just started learing python for my new job, so everything is quite difficult to me, even if the task sounds pretty straight forward. </p>

<p>I would like to extract several nodes from multiple xml-files, at best putting the information into an excel file in the end. Every row should contain the information from one xml-file, the columns should represent the specific nodes I am looking for, like "Zip-code" "town". Not all xml-files contain all nodes, so it would be perfect, if node "Zip-code" doesnt exist it just leaves the cell blank. </p>

<p>Could someone please point out a few hints how to start with this or, this is also possible, a special programm, which is easy to learn and use? My company and me only need to do it once for about 2000 files.</p>

<p>Thank you very much =)</p>
