Using ElementTree:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as E
e = E.parse("test.xml")
print(e.find("type").text)

Using minidom:

import xml.dom.minidom
d = xml.dom.minidom.parse("test.xml")
print(d.getElementsByTagName("type")[0].firstChild.data)

Using BeautifulSoup:

from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulStoneSoup
soup = BeautifulStoneSoup(open("test.xml"))
print(soup.find("type").text)
