XML parsing the weather

[elomis]

Hey guys, new poster so if I am in the wrong spot please just let me know.
The below code should read the weather off Yahoo, and create a dictionary containing a bunch of variables and their values from the weather (temp = 9 or whatever), it doesn't. How is it possible to read in some XML, parse it, and spit out some variables that make sense?

import xml.etree.ElementTree as et
import urllib2

# get the weather off the web

weather_online = urllib2.urlopen("http://weather.yahooapis.com/forecastrss?p=94089&u=c")

# except, that's an object, make it actual xml

weather_web = weather_online.read()


weather_cache = open(".\weather_cache.xml", "wb")
weather_cache.write(weather_web)

# Parse it

weather_xml = et.XML(weather_web)

# print the actual XML we are working off out

# print weather_web

# and read it into variables
vars = {}
for item in weather_xml:
	print item.text
	vars[item.tag] = item.text
