title: Python: How do you get an XML element's text content using xml.dom.minidom?
body: <p>I've called <code>elems = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('myTagName')</code> on an XML object that I parsed as <code>minidom.parse(xmlObj)</code>. Now I'm trying to get the text content of this element, and although I spent a while looking through the dir() and trying things out, I haven't found the call yet. As an example of what I want to accomplish, in:</p>
  
  <p><code>&lt;myTagName&gt; Hello there &lt;/myTagName&gt;</code></p>
  
  <p>I would like the extract just "Hello there". (obviously I could parse this myself but I expect there is some built-in functionality)</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
