I have been going through Dive into Python which up to now has been
excellent. I am now working through Chapter 9, XML Processing. I am 9
pages in (p182) in the 'Parsing XML section. The following code is
supposed to return the whole XML document (I have put ti at the end of
this email):
from xml.dom import minidom
xmldoc =
minidom.parse('/home/ben/diveintopython-5.4/py/kgp/binary.xml')
grammerNode = xmldoc.firstChild
print grammerNode.toxml()
But it only returns:
<!DOCTYPE grammar
PUBLIC '-//diveintopython.org//DTD Kant Generator Pro v1.0//EN'
'kgp.dtd'>
The next line is then
grammerNode.childNodes
And it returns an empty tuples;(
Kind of stuck here as I don't really want to continue. Has anyone any
idea what is going on?
