How to convert multiple LCI ecospold files to a custom excel format/ how to use parse_file from pyecospold/ how to read ecospold into brightway - lxml

Question

I have multiple ecospold (version 1) files with LCI data that I want to convert to a custom excel format. I need all data given in the ecospold file. For my own convinience I want to use python to complete this task.
My research until now has lead me to the following conclusions:
There exist at least two converters (by GLAD and openLCA) to convert ecospold formats (1 and 2) to e.g. the ILCD. But those formats are not helping me to go anywhere, since I need to have all the data accessible in python and in order to then write it into my custom excel format.
To get the data in python, the package pyecospold (https://github.com/sami-m-g/pyecospold) seems to be a suitable choice.
According to the README that can be found at the pyecospold github repository,
ecoSpold = parse_file("data/v1/v1_1.xml") # Replace with your own XML file
should do the job. So I implemented the following lines:
import os
from pyecospold import parse_file, save_file, Defaults
from lxml import etree
cd = os.getcwd()
path_input = cd + r'\inputs\ecospold_test.xml'
# Parse the required XML file to EcoSpold class.
es = parse_file('inputs/ecospold_test.xml')
Now I run into the error:
TypeError: parse_file() missing 2 required positional arguments: 'schema_path' and 'ecospold_lookup'
I understood that a schema in xsd format is needed, therefore I got the schema files from the github and amended my last line of code:
es = parse_file('inputs/ecospold_test.xml', 'inputs/schemas/v1/EcoSpold01Dataset.xsd')
Now there is still one argument missing:
TypeError: parse_file() missing 1 required positional argument: 'ecospold_lookup'
Since I have no experience in parsing xml files in python, I have no idea what to do with this. Additionally, I am confused why the README does not say anything about those additionally needed arguments.
My second idea was to use brightway to get the data into python. But since brightway itself is quite an extensive package, I could not find a simple (or any) way to do this. (Sadly, the notebooks linked in the answer of this question Import Ecoinvent 2.2 Ecospold files into Brightway do not exist anymore)
Another option would of course be to write my own parser. But because I am lacking experience and pyecospold does exactly this (at least in my understanding), I would like to avoid this option.
Additionally, there in openLCA it is possible to read in ecospold files and then export them to an excel format. From this excel format I could of course make my custom excel format. The problem here is that I have no idea how to automize this, because I do not want to read in and export each file individually and manually in openLCA.
If anyone has an idea on how to solve one of my subproblems or a good alternative on how to solve my general problem, I would be very thankful. :)
