i'm trying to make a python script that parses an xml file. i implemented it using xml.dom.minidom and it works great when i run it on my pc using xbmc emulator. when i try to run the script on my xbox it doesn't start. here is a clip of my script...

def parserss(self, url):
opener = urllib.fancyurlopener({})
f = opener.open(url)
xmldata = f.read()
dom = xml.dom.minidom.parsestring(xmldata)
self.updateitemlist(dom)

def updateitemlist(self, dom):
items = dom.getelementsbytagname("title")
for item in items:
self.itemlist.additem(self.gettext(item.childnodes))

def gettext(self, nodelist):
rc = ""
for node in nodelist:
if node.nodetype == node.text_node:
rc = rc + node.data
return rc

is is so that i can't use dom in xbmc or is there something wrong with the code? (this is the first thing i'm coding with python)...

here is one example... not the clearest one, but i hope you can get something out of it http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.4/lib/dom-example.html

here is also a link to the python xml.dom api http://www.python.org/doc/2.3.4/lib/module-xml.dom.html

also that small example above that i posted... it takes all <title> -elements and puts them in a controllist.

i hope this helps you to get started...
