[XML-SIG] DOM handling with parsed element

[horst@freedict.de]

I asked this before, but I did not receive any answer, so I am asking it
again, in a different way. I would appreciate answers VERY much.


I am running linux, and reinstalled Python 2.0.1 and PyXML0.6.6


I modified the dom test program to:

<program>

from xml.dom import Node        # MUST be first
from xml.dom import implementation, DOMException
from xml.dom import HIERARCHY_REQUEST_ERR, NOT_FOUND_ERR
from xml.dom import INDEX_SIZE_ERR, INVALID_CHARACTER_ERR, SYNTAX_ERR
from xml.dom.ext.reader.Sax2 import FromXml
from xml.dom.ext import PrettyPrint


test_text = """<?xml version="1.0"?>
<doc>
<title test="1">This is a test</title>
<h1>Don't panic</h1>
<p>Maybe it will work.</p>
<h2>We can handle it</h2>
<h3>Yes we can</h3>
<h3>Or maybe not</h3>
End of test.
</doc>
"""

doc = FromXml(test_text)

# Detailed test suite for the DOM
from xml.dom import Document
e = doc.getElementsByTagName('title')
print "e:", e[0]
print "attribute:", e[0].getAttribute("test")

for attrib in e[0].attributes:
    print "attrib:", attrib.name


</program>


the result is however:

> python test_mydom.py
e: <Element Node at 82de82c: Name='title' with 1 attributes and 1 children>
attribute:
attrib: test

Where I expected to retrive: "attribute: test", as the title element has
the attribute test.

Where are things going wrong?

Thanks for your answers

Horst
