When xml node have both attribute and value at first level, the parser will broke. After fix, the node key will have a dictionary with both value and attr inside. For example, the xml node: <capacity unit='bytes'>536870912000</capacity> will be parsed into: {u'capacity': {'attr': {u'unit': u'bytes'}, 'value': u'536870912000'}} Also when fetch the attribute key, should use a new param (attrkey) other than exist key in outside loop.
