Visit http://docs.python.org/2.7/library/xml.dom.minidom.html, please notice the first paragraph. The last sentence is " should consider using the xml.etree.ElementTree module for their XML processing instead". Shouldn't it be " should consider using the xml.dom.minidom module for their XML processing instead"?

No, the intent really is to suggest using the ElementTree module rather than either minidom or any of the other XML modules in the standard library.  Many people find the ElementTree API easier to understand and to use.
