[XML-SIG] getAttribute??

[Dag Sunde]

Ah!

I got interested in Dom Linu's problem, and was able
to get the attribute with:

>>> atr = elem.attributes['','id'].value

but couldn't for my life understand the first param...
It's the NameSpace! :-)

But why isn't getAttribute('id') working when the NS
is an empty string?

Does getAttribute('id') work if the NS somehow is None?


Dag.
