You need to make this algorithm recursive:

def getText(nodelist):
	rc = ""
	for node in nodelist:
		if node.nodeType == node.TEXT_NODE:	
			rc = rc + node.data
		if node.nodeType == node.ELEMENT_NODE:	# added this
			rc = rc + getText(node.childNodes)
	return rc

Notice that adding strings like this can become a performance issue;
it might be better to collect the pieces in a list, and then use
string.join to flatten the list.

HTH,
