parsing xml containing &entities; with minidom

[DementerX]

I'm trying to parse XML files using minidom. This is simple in simple cases (\[code\]doc = xml.dom.minidom.parse(fileName)\[/code\]). But I have XML containing named entities (e. g. \[code\]ü\[/code\], \[code\]à\[/code\] and similar, some are special and non-standard).I think I still can use minidom but have to pass a proprietary parser (containing an entity resolver) when calling \[code\]xml.dom.minidom.parse(source, parser)\[/code\] as second argument. I cannot find any example for this. Does anybody have a link or a small example for me which does this?
