how to parse XML blast output
Hello everyone, (I am not native in English)
I want to parse XML local blast result (transcripts against NCBI nr) to see the name of the transcripts that have shown any hits (if the name of the transcripts and the name of the protein could be retrieve, it is better).
it seems that Biophython NCBIXML is designed for this work.
Would you please help me for a simple script to run NCBIXML on my output.xml ?
Thank you in advance
NOTE:
1- I have checked some related posts, but could not figure it out.
2- If there is any other software or package for this "parsing", mention it, please.

There are many libraries in Python, but BeautifulSoup is an excellent and easy-to-use library for scraping HTML and XML: https://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/
