[Python] Parsing question for Python with LXML and Requests (Soap)

<soap-env:Envelope xmlns:soap-env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap-env:Header />
<soap-env:Body>
<apilexViewResponse xmlns:api="http://alu.com/plexwebapi/api" Command="ACT-USER" SwitchName="" RequestId="ACTUSER1748031686781471283" SessionId="" CongestionIndicator="false" Status="SUCCESS">
<SessionId>session_123456</SessionId>
</apilexViewResponse>
</soap-env:Body>
</soap-env:Envelope>"""

I set the namespace, like this

# Set Namespace
nsmap = {'api': 'http://alu.com/plexwebapi/api'}
# Get Session ID
SessionID = com_login.findall('.//SessionId', nsmap)[0].text


Struggling to find the proper way to obtain that status, and if it errors, there would be an Error="" also.
