Hello all, 

I am new to Python and have a problem with the behaviour of the xml parser. 
Assume we have this xml document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bibliography>
    <entry>
            Title of the first book.
        </entry>
        <entry>
            <coauthored/>
Title of the second book.
        </entry>
</bibliography>    


If I now check for the text of all 'entry' nodes, the text for the node with 
the empty element isn't shown



import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.ElementTree(file='test.xml')
root = tree.getroot()
resultSet = root.findall(".//entry")
for r in resultSet:
        print (r.text)
