How to use Python XML findall to find ''

Question

I\'m trying to do a find all from a Word document for with namespace xmlns:v=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-

Answer 1

With ElementTree in Python 3.8, you can simply use a wildcard ({*}) for the namespace:

results = ET.fromstring(xml).findall(".//{*}imagedata") 

Note the .// part, which means that the whole document (all descendants) is searched.
