I think your xml is not proper, because the tag :
<ReportItem port="0" svc_name="general" protocol="tcp" severity="0" pluginID="19506" pluginName="Nessus Scan Information" pluginFamily="Settings">
is not closed properly with </ReportItem>. I got correct answer, when i closed it for example as per below :

Below is my result with the same code that you are using :

Correct, but that is only the hostproperties stuff, i am trying to get the description and plugin_output
– Mr39
Jan 2 at 17:39
If you see the HostProperties it is directly inside root. But description and plugin_output are inside ReportItem not directly under root, so if you only want to print description and plugin_output, you should iterate through description/plugin_output rather than HostProperties. something like : for host in root.iter('description'). Or if you want to use some library you can also use a library named "xmltodict".

If you see the HostProperties it is directly inside root. But description and plugin_output are inside ReportItem not directly under root, so if you only want to print description and plugin_output, you should iterate through description/plugin_output rather than HostProperties. something like : for host in root.iter('description'). Or if you want to use some library you can also use a library named "xmltodict".

I think your xml is not proper, because the tag :

is not closed properly with </ReportItem>. I got correct answer, when i closed it for example as per below :
