how do I keep track? The first result value is outside a filters
section and the rest are. Do you mean something like:
def startElement(self, name, attrs):
if name == 'event':
self.eventTime = attrs.get('eventTimestamp',"")
self.eventUniqueId = attrs.get('uniqueId', "")
if name == 'result':
self.resultValue = attrs.get('value',"")
if name == filters:
if name == 'result':
self.resultValueF = attrs.get('value',"")
return
