Use parse to parse a file. doc = parse('boolean_width.xml')

Here's a complete program:

import xml.dom.minidom
from xml.dom.minidom import Node, parse

doc = parse('boolean_width.xml')

my_node_list = doc.getElementsByTagName("n")
my_n_node = my_node_list[0]
my_child = my_n_node.firstChild
my_text = my_child.data
