are you limited to use DOM?
if not then you can also use elementtree
for ex:
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
fp=open('try.xml') #your xml file
xmlData = fp.read()
tree = ET.XML( xmlData )
listroot = list(tree)
for item in listroot:
if(item.tag == "parent"):
for dcs in list(item):
dcs.tag
if you want to use dom parsing only then you can try this:
from xml.dom.minidom import parse
datasource = parse(fp)
for elem in datasource.getElementsByTagName('parent'):
for i in elem.childNodes:
i.nodeName
print dir(i)
