I'm sure its obvious but...XML node question

[Timothy Grant]

OK,

So I'm playing with XML, and using the minidom.

I can walk my tree, I can play with my attributes, but I can't
see how to get the data in the node.

given the following xml snippet...

<setting setid="minuid">500</setting>

>>> node.getAttribute('setid')
u'minuid'

The minidom example uses some code that looks like this...

def getText(nodelist):
    rc = ""
	for node in nodelist:
		if node.nodeType == node.TEXT_NODE:
			rc = rc + node.data

However, the data class variable doesn't seem to exist.

What am I missing?

Thanks.
