Resuest & Response Parse Samples Python

RoyReddy

Looking for Parsing XML help.

I am a noob to the SM_API and Python. Decades ago I did write Asm, and C. a few things have advanced since then.

Using the v1.2.0 endpoints -
I have been successful in cobbling together a few Python programs to
smugmug.login.anonymously
smugmug.login.withPassword
smugmug.login.withHash
{attached a Hash samples request and response}

in xmlrpc Each of these responds with a lengthy XML <methodResponse>

login.anonymous also cobbled using the rest,json, php endpoints

Note: Curl was a large help for reverse engineering the Request structure
Gosh! I wish that there was a more elaborate API Manual
!Heck I volunteer to write & test it - if someone _SM_ provides content in raw form

====
I am now confounded with trying to Parse the Session Id out of the reponse strings
I have looked at most all of the api/wrappers posted.
I have scoured code.activestate.com/recipes for python samples against SM API and XML

I have experimented with parsing ElementTrees, none of the Find(s) nor getIterator located the session


I may have to tattoo 'thick' on my forehead. No significant progress.

----
I would appreciate your advise, pointers or samples to break through this Parsing challange.

Hey Roy,

There is an existing SmugMug python project, you can check it out here.

Cheers,
