why can't I get xml tag attributes

Question

so I was trying to code a test for reading xml files but for some reason I can't get the tag attributes please help python

from xml.dom.minidom import *
playerxml = parse('C:/Users/dimit/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python312/projects/save test.xml')
u1 = playerxml.firstChild
print(u1.firstChild.tagName)
print(u1.firstChild.tagName.getAttribute("up"))
print(u1.firstChild.tagName.getAttribute("down"))
print(u1.firstChild.tagName.getAttribute("left"))
print(u1.firstChild.tagName.getAttribute("right"))

xml

<user1>
</controls up='w' down='s' left='a' right='d'>
</name name='dimitri'>
</user1>

I tried to look at the error messages for help but I couldn't understand it mainly because it was printing out module code

Answer 1

1. test.xml:

<user1>
    </controls up='w' down='s' left='a' right='d'>
    </name name='dimitri'>
</user1>

2. main.py:

.

from xml.dom.minidom import parse

playerxml = parse('test.xml')
u1 = playerxml.firstChild
controls_tag = u1.getElementsByTagName('controls')[0]  
name_tag = u1.getElementsByTagName('name')[0]



print("Controls attributes:")
print("Up:", controls_tag.getAttribute("up"))
print("Down:", controls_tag.getAttribute("down"))
print("Left:", controls_tag.getAttribute("left"))
print("Right:", controls_tag.getAttribute("right"))

print("\nName attribute:")
print("Name:", name_tag.getAttribute("name"))

Output:

Controls attributes:
Up: w
Down: s
Left: a
Right: d

Name attribute:
Name: dimitri
