I'm using xml.dom.minidom , I get some data by using
obj.getElements ByTagName("name ")[0] then I have an object, but how can I
get the data between the tags ? I could do .toxml() and then strip it
away. But is there a better way maybe a function made for it ?
Also is it possible using the xml.dom.minidom module to create modify an
xml file ?

Given <name>Greg</name>, 'Greg' is considered an element inside the 'name'
element. So, all you have to do is go one level of elements deeper.
myname = obj.getElements ByTagName("name ")[0].childNodes[0].data

Might want to read up about normalization, too.

What do you mean by normalization ?

Actually, Peter, that link has nothing to do with the normalization of
text nodes in a DOM, which was, I think, the "normalizat ion" in
question.
The link you have provided gives detail on "attribute value
normalization", which is the normalization of whitespace in attribute
values, not DOM text nodes.
Of course, the normalization of test nodes in a DOM is a not a part of
the XML spec, it is a part of the DOM spec. http://www.w3.org/TR/DOM-Level-2-Core/core.html
Check out the Node.normalize( ) method.

so What about writing modifying a xml file with minidom ?
Quoting Geiregat Jonas (en***@sdf-eu.org): But how ???
from xml.dom.minidom import parse
dom = parse(my_xml_fi le)
dom = makeChangesToMy DomTree(dom)
f = open(my_xml_fil e)
f.write(dom.tox ml())
You should verify that this works properly but it should. I remember
at one point observing a problem with a document that declared a DTD,
where the DTD was not preserved and invalid XML was dumped. I don't
remember if minidom was the parser I was using, though, and I don't
have the time to test right now.

We've run into minidom's inabilty to handle large (20+MB) XML files, and
need a replacement that can handle it. Unfortunately, we're pretty
dependent on a DOM, so a pulldom or SAX replacement is likely out of the
question for now.
Has someone done a more efficient minidom replacement module that we can
just drop in? Preferrably written in C?

I ran into a problem while dynamically constructing XHTML documents using

script_node_0.setAttribute("type", "text/javascript")
script_node_0.setAttribute("src", "../test.js")
minidom renders it as:

I'm using xml.minidom to parse some of our XML files. Some of these
have entities like "°" in which aren't understood by xml.minidom.
These give this error.
xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: undefined entity: line 12, column 1
Does anyone know how to add entities when using xml.minidom?
I've spend some time searching the docs/code/google but I haven't

As a newbie, I'm trying to simply parse a xml file using minidom, but

wrong in xml file, but I've tried different xml files, still same

I ran into a difference between Python on Windows XP and Linux Fedora
6.
Writing a dom to xml with minidom works on Linux. It gives an error on
XP if there is an empty namespace. The problem was handled in CVS a
while ago.
