Ah, it does work on minidom when you spell "xmlns" correctly :-)

>>> import xml.dom.minidom
>>> doc = xml.dom.minidom.parseString("<section xmlns:mb='http://123' 
mb:name='abc'/>")
>>> doc.childNodes[0].attributes.items()
[(u'mb:name', u'abc'), (u'xmlns:mb', u'http://123')]
>>> doc.childNodes[0].getAttributeNS(u'http://123', u'name')
u'abc'

pDomlette is no gone.  The 4Suite Domlettes have been unified.  Is there any 
chance you could put together a patch to update wsdllib.py to the API as 
detailed in

http://uche.ogbuji.net/tech/akara/nodes/2003-01-01/domlettes

?

Mike and I'd be very grateful, and update the code to help others.

Site went psycho for a bit, according to the logs.  I've been playing with it 
hard latey, trying to generalize Akara into a full-blown (and IMHO very 
compelling) app, and stability hs suffered accordingly.  Sorry.  Anyway, it's 
back running now.
