Hi,

I'm pretty new to the community but I get an error using the minidom
parseString() method. Here is my code (ulta simple!):

import xml.dom.minidom
xml = "<tag>hello</tag>"
doc = xml.dom.minidom.parsString(xml)

And here is my error trace:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\test.py", line 6, in <module>
    doc = xml.dom.minidom.parsString(xml)
AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'dom'

I get this error no what string I gave it. I use python 2.6 (latest
stable release).

Can someone point in the right direction...google has not been very helpful.

Thanks!

Nico
