Using the excellent library lxml:

>>> doc = lxml.etree.parse(seu_arquivo_xml)
>>> print(doc.xpath('//@name')) #localiza elementos com atributo `name`
['AZUL', 'DIREx', 'SUPERVISOR', 'VERMELHO']
>>> print(doc.xpath('//@password')) #localiza elementos com atributo `password`
['red', '', 'sommer', 'blue']
