xml.dom.minidom on os x

[Sascha Ernst]

hello,

i tried the following code, a code example from the Python Library 
Reference, and just get the message "failed". there seems to be no 
problem importing xml.dom.minidom or using parseString(). i compiled 
python 2.2.2 myself on os x 10.2.4 without any flags for ./configure


#!/usr/bin/env python
 from xml.dom.minidom import parseString
 try:
	
dom3 = parseString('<myxml>Some data<empty/> some more data</myxml>')
	
print "succeded"
except:
	print "failed"

has anybody an idea, why the parser does not work?


regards, sascha
