<p>I am creating a GUI frontend for the Eve Online API in Python.</p>

<p>I have successfully pulled the XML data from their server.</p>

<p>I am trying to grab the value from a node called "name":</p>

<pre><code>from xml.dom.minidom import parse
dom = parse("C:\\eve.xml")
name = dom.getElementsByTagName('name')
print name
</code></pre>

<p>This seems to find the node, but the output is below:</p>

<pre><code>[&lt;DOM Element: name at 0x11e6d28&gt;]
</code></pre>

<p>How could I get it to print the value of the node?</p>

It should just be
```
```
name[0].firstChild.nodeValue
```
```
