XML parser in python

I am new to Python . i am trying to parse below XML in python for a test summary.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SquishReport version="2.1">
  <test name="HMI_testing">
    <prolog time="2013-01-18T14:41:09+05:30"/>
    <test name="tst_case1">
      <prolog time="2013-01-18T14:41:09+05:30"/>
      <verification name="VP5" file="D:/Squish/HMI_testing/tst_case1/test.py" type="properties" line="6">
        <result time="2013-01-18T14:41:10+05:30" type="PASS">
          <description>VP5: Object property comparison of ':_QMenu_3.enabled' passed</description>
          <description type="DETAILED">'false' and 'false' are equal</description>
          <description type="object">:_QMenu_3</description>
          <description type="property">enabled</description>
          <description type="failedValue">false</description>
        </result>
      </verification>
      <epilog time="2013-01-18T14:41:11+05:30"/>
    </test>
    <test name="tst_Setup_Menu"> <prolog time="2013-01-18T14:41:11+05:30"/>
      <verification name="VP1" file="D:/Squish/HMI_testing/tst_Setup_Menu/test.py" type="screenshot" line="6">
        <result time="2013-01-18T14:41:12+05:30" type="PASS">
          <description>VP1: Screenshot comparison of ':_QMenu_3' passed</description>
          <description type="DETAILED">Screenshots are considered identical</description>

      </verification>
      <verification name="VP2" file="D:/Squish/HMI_testing/tst_Setup_Menu/test.py" type="screenshot" line="8">

          <description>VP2: Screenshot comparison of ':_QMenu_3' failed</description>
          <description type="DETAILED">Screenshots do not match. Differing screenshot saved as 'D:/Squish/HMI_testing/tst_Setup_Menu/verificationPoints\failedImages\failed_1.png'</description>
          <description type="object">:_QMenu_3</description>
          <description type="failedImage">D:/Squish/HMI_testing/tst_Setup_Menu/verificationPoints\failedImages\failed_1.png</description>
        </result>
      </verification>
      <verification name="VP3" file="D:/Squish/HMI_testing/tst_Setup_Menu/test.py" type="screenshot" line="9">
        <result time="2013-01-18T14:41:20+05:30" type="PASS">

    </test>
    <epilog time="2013-01-18T14:41:28+05:30"/>
  </test>
</SquishReport>

i tried below code but i am not able to parse as per my need

import sys
import xml.dom.minidom as XY
#import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

file = open("result.txt", "w")
tree = XY.parse('D:\\Squish\\squish results\\Results-On-2013-01-18_0241 PM.xml')
elem = tree.getElementsByTagName('test')
variable = elem[0].firstChild.data
print (variable)

What I am trying to do is, extract "HMI_testing" from first 'test' tag, "Test name" tst_case1, and Pass / fAIL FROM the xml file
