Newbie to Python and NASDK

I am new to using Python and the NASDK and was trying to determine how to return some data from the security-config-get api. Here is some sample code I used to gather the data and the output that I can get from it. As you can see I can get the some of the data out, but I only get one of the supported ciphers. I have tried several ways to use a 'for in' loop. It does show me that there are 3 ciphers but the i have not been able to figure out how to get the 3 actual names into a variable to use for verification. I am sure whatever the answer to this is would/could be used in similar situations with other API calls. Thanks

api = NaElement("security-config-get")

xi = NaElement("desired-attributes")

api.child_add(xi)

xi1 = NaElement("security-config-info")

xi.child_add(xi1)

xi1.child_add_string("cluster-security-config-ready","<cluster-security-config-ready>")

xi1.child_add_string("interface","<interface>")

xi1.child_add_string("is-fips-enabled","<is-fips-enabled>")

xi1.child_add_string("supported-ciphers","<supported-ciphers>")

xi2 = NaElement("supported-protocols")

xi1.child_add(xi2)

xi2.child_add_string("security-supported-protocols","<security-supported-protocols>")

api.child_add_string("interface","ssl")

xo = s.invoke_elem(api)

if (xo.results_status() == "failed") :

print ("Error:\n")

print (xo.sprintf())

sys.exit (1)

print ("Received:\n")

print (xo.sprintf())

attribs = xo.child_get("attributes")

result=attribs.children_get()

for res in result:

i = res.child_get_string("interface")

f = res.child_get_string("is-fips-enabled")

c = res.child_get_string("supported-ciphers")

p1 = res.child_get("supported-protocols").child_get_string("security-supported-protocols")

print (i)

print (f)

print (c)

print (p1)

Here is the way i tried this that basically gave me the 3 ciphers but not the name of them, just says none.
