Python2 extracting tags from xml

I have xml document that I need to parse, but I am stuck, I may say at the very beggining. Here is part of xml file.

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project xmlns="http://ift.tt/IH78KX"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://ift.tt/IH78KX http://ift.tt/HBk9RF"
        xmlns:xsi="http://ift.tt/ra1lAU">

I want to print out element tags only. I do it with this piece of code form python docs. I issue these commands at python interpreter.

tree = ET.parse('pom.xml')
root = tree.getroot()
root = ET.fromstring(data)
root.tag

root.tag returns this

Is expected result just

project

?
