Python 2.0 supports minidom; Uche's example was a 4DOM application.
4DOM is included both in PyXML and 4Suite.

Please have a look at

http://python.sourceforge.net/devel-docs/lib/markup.html

for documentation on minidom.

It's not because it was not finished, it was not included because it
was considered too large.

If you can read German, I can recommend the "Python 2" book that I
just published at Addison-Wesley :-)
