Question

My XML file looks like the following:

Answer 1

Element tree uses namespaces so all the elements in your xml have name like {http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2008-08-19}Items

So make the search include the namespace e.g.

search = '{http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2008-08-19}Items/{http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2008-08-19}Item/{http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2008-08-19}ItemAttributes/{http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2008-08-19}ListPrice/{http://webservices.amazon.com/AWSECommerceService/2008-08-19}Amount'
element.findall( search )

gives the element corresponding to 2260
