I'm trying to extract some information from the following xml file:
http://pastebin.ca/1029125

This is the code that I have so far:

import xml.dom.minidom
file = "Music.xml"
doc = xml.dom.minidom.parse(file)
	
plist = doc.childNodes[1]
	
dict = plist.childNodes[1] #dict contains App version and stuff, as well
as tracks and playlist.
	
tdict = dict.childNodes[21] #dict which contains dicts for each track,
those dicts contain the info
	
print tdict.childNodes[1]
print tdict.childNodes[1].toxml()
print tdict.childNodes[2]

This code prints out the following:

<DOM Element: key at 0xbafb98>
<key>42</key>
<DOM Text node "
                ">

The problem is that the Text node that is printed out is blank, when it
should be 42. What do I need to do so I can get tdict.childNodes[2] to
become a string being "42" ?
