In [9]: import xml.dom

In [10]: xml.dom.Node ?
Type:           class
String Form:    xml.dom.Node
Namespace:      Currently not defined in user session.
File:           
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages/_xmlplus/dom/__init__.py
Docstring:
    Class giving the NodeType constants.


In [11]: @psource xml.dom.Node
class Node:
    """Class giving the NodeType constants."""

    # DOM implementations may use this as a base class for their own
    # Node implementations.  If they don't, the constants defined here
    # should still be used as the canonical definitions as they match
    # the values given in the W3C recommendation.  Client code can
    # safely refer to these values in all tests of Node.nodeType
    # values.

    ELEMENT_NODE                = 1
    ATTRIBUTE_NODE              = 2
