#  Load an XML document.
#  This file is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/testData/currency.xml

success = xml.LoadXmlFile("c:/myXmlFiles/currency.xml")
if (success != True):
    print xml.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  Iterate over each "CURRENCY" child node and display the contents:

n = xml.NumChildrenHavingTag("CURRENCY")
for i in range(0,n):
    # curr is a CkXml
    curr = xml.GetNthChildWithTag("CURRENCY",i)
    print "----"
    print "Name: " + curr.getChildContent("NAME")
    print "Code: " + curr.getChildContent("CURRENCYCODE")
    print "Country: " + curr.getChildContent("COUNTRY")
