[4suite] How do I use getAttribute????

[Wade Leftwich]

You can really get yourself confused (or at least I can get myself confused)
like this:

>>> doc = Sax2.Reader().fromStream(StringIO('<foo bar="baz"/>'))
>>> node = doc.getElementsByTagName('foo')[0]
>>> node.setAttribute('bar', 'qux')
>>> ext.Print(node)
<foo bar='baz' bar='qux'/>
>>> newdoc = Sax2.Reader().fromStream(StringIO("<foo bar='baz'
bar='qux'/>"))
Traceback (innermost last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in ?
  File "C:\Python20\_xmlplus\dom\ext\reader\Sax2.py", line 299, in
fromStream
    self.parser.parse(s)
  File "C:\Python20\_xmlplus\sax\expatreader.py", line 43, in parse
    xmlreader.IncrementalParser.parse(self, source)
  File "C:\Python20\_xmlplus\sax\xmlreader.py", line 120, in parse
    self.feed(buffer)
  File "C:\Python20\_xmlplus\sax\expatreader.py", line 92, in feed
    self._err_handler.fatalError(exc)
SystemError: 'finally' pops bad exception
