from xml import xpath
from xml.dom import minidom
doc = """<para role="success">1</para>"""
mydom = minidom.parseString(doc)
#result_nodes = xpath.Evaluate("/para/text()", mydom)
#result_nodes = xpath.Evaluate("/para[1]/text()", mydom)
result_nodes = xpath.Evaluate("/[EMAIL PROTECTED]'success']/text()", mydom)
