You must know that the text between the tags is a DOM element
by itself, namely a TEXT node, which is a child of the
elment node formed by the tag.

So try;

xml = """<root><teste> texto </teste></root>"""
from xml.dom import minidom
document = minidom.parseString(xml)
element = document.getElementsByTagName('teste')
textelt=element[0].firstChild
print textelt.nodeType, textelt.nodeValue

and it will print:

3  texto
