You've reversed some function parameters. Here's a program that works
fine (note that you don't need to set up a SAX parser):
from xml.dom import minidom
text = '''<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xte:xte xmlns:xte='http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/renata/xte'>
<xte:creator>alias</xte:creator>
<xte:date>Thu Jan 30 15:06:06 NZDT 2003</xte:date>
<xte:object objectid="object1">
Nothing
</xte:object>
</xte:xte>
'''
# Parse the string into a minidom
mydom = minidom.parseString(text)
# Look for some elements
# This one shouldn't return any (I think).
object_el1 = mydom.getElementsByTagName("xte:object")
# This one definitely should, at least for what I want.
object_el2 = mydom.getElementsByTagNameNS(
'http://www.mcs.vuw.ac.nz/renata/xte',"object",
)
print '1: ' + str(object_el1)
print '2: ' + str(object_el2)
