[mod_python] Minidom parse error

I am trying to parse a file that I am getting from a url. However, I 
keep getting an error saying that a module does not have an attribute 
parse. Here is the code followed by the error:

----- BEGIN CODE -----

import xml.dom.minidom
#from xml.dom import minidom
from mod_python import apache
from dbxml import *
import urllib


### GET ALL THE URLS FROM THE OPML FILE
#######################################
def get_urls(req, url):
    #req.write(url + "\n")
    xmlfile = 
urllib.urlopen('http://www.windley.com/gems/mySubscriptions.opml')
    #req.write(xmlfile + "Great!!")
    filedoc = xml.dom.minidom.parse(xmlfile)
    req.write("HOW ABOUT HERE\n")
    feeds = []
    text = filedoc.getElementsByTagName("outline")
    for nodes in text:
        for (name, value) in nodes.attributes.items():
            if name == 'xmlUrl':
                feeds.append(value)
    return feeds

### SPLIT THE ARGUMENTS PASSED TO THE URL

    if args == None:
        return rose_args

    arglist = args.split('&')

    for arg in arglist:
        tmp = arg.split('=')
        if len(tmp) == 1:
            rose_args[tmp[0]] = None
        else:
            rose_args[tmp[0].upper()] = tmp[1]
    return rose_args

### SEND ERROR IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
######################################

    req.send_http_header()
    req.write('<p>' + s + '</p>')
    raise apache.SERVER_RETURN, status

### MAIN HANDLER METHOD WHERE ARE THE MAIN CALLS ARE MADE
#########################################################

two parameters, one for \nyour OPML file and one for the

    url = rose_args.get('URL', None)
    flavor = rose_args.get('FLAVOR', None)
    if url == None:

parameter found</font></strong>', apache.HTTP_PRECONDITION_FAILED)
    else:
        req.write("OPML: " + url + "\n")

    if flavor == None:

    else:

    req.write(rose_urls[0])
    mgr = XmlManager()
    container = mgr.openContainer("/web/htdocs/dev/danolsencreatedme.dbxml")

    return apache.OK

If anyone can clue me in on why this is happening that would be great!
