|   Here is the associated code. It's generated code. the xmlDoc and other

|     def __init__(self, _obj=None):
|         self._o = _obj
|         xmlNode.__init__(self, _obj=_obj)
|
|   xmlNode.__init__ could check for the type of the object an raise an
| exception, that would be one way to catch those kind of mistakes.

It'd be nice actually if _obj was None that the appropriate library call
got made to manufacture it.
