Using minidom to get values from XML. Is this really the easiest way to do it?

manifest.xml

<plugin>
	<name>Plugin</name>
	<version>0.0.0</version>
	<description>The framework upon which all Dojo plugins are built.</description>
	<url>http://n1nja.com/projects/dojo-server/core/</url>

</plugin>

ManifestParser.py

def getTitle(self, filename="manifest.xml"):
    doc = minidom.parse(filename)
    plugin = doc.childNodes[0]
    for node in plugin.childNodes:
        if node.nodeType == Node.ELEMENT_NODE and node.nodeName == "name":
            for child in node.childNodes:
                if child.nodeType == Node.TEXT_NODE:
                    return child.data

This is true. Then what you have is best as far as I know.
