that's what i did before.

(but i use parseString() as parse seems to be for files)

see updated test case below. what data should i send to help debug?

current test case:
=====[handler.py]=====
from xml.dom import minidom
from mod_python import apache

class Handler:
        def __init__(self, req):
                pass

        def dispatch(self, req):
                req.content_type = "text/plain"
                req.send_http_header()

                req.write("minidom test\n\n")

                doc = minidom.parseString("<foo><bar>spam</bar></foo>")
                req.write("\nparsed document: %s\n" % str(doc))

                return apache.OK
=====

=====[output]=====
minidom test


Mod_python error: "PythonHandler handler::Handler.dispatch"

    return builder.parseString(string)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 189, in parseString
    parser.Parse(string, True)

  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/expatbuilder.py", line 231, in character_data_handler_cdata
    childNodes = self.curNode.childNodes

AttributeError: ExpatBuilderNS instance has no attribute 'curNode'
=====

using minidom "parseString" raises exception which doesn't happen without mod_python.
