Parse and dump a sitemap (using Python)

gistfile1.py

#! /usr/bin/env python
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

"""
Based on http://www.craigaddyman.com/parse-an-xml-sitemap-with-python/
"""

from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
import requests

url = "https://www.domain.com/sitemap.xml"
get_url = requests.get(url)

if get_url.status_code == 200:
    soup = BeautifulSoup(get_url.text)

    for loc in soup.findAll("loc"):
        print loc.text
else:
    print "Unable to fetch sitemap."

Above code doesn't account for <sitemap><loc> URL to have any arguments in it.

I created an improved version at https://gist.github.com/HQJaTu/cd66cf659b8ee633685b43c5e7e92f05 to address that issue. The obvious solution is to first parse the url, and check the URL path-part.

hi,
sorry for the question, im new at python
to where the code dump the sitemap ?
do i need to write any writing to file ?
